COVID ICU survivors: does lying on your belly help years later?
NCT ID NCT06080737
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study checks on 137 COVID-19 patients who were in the ICU and used awake prone positioning (lying on their belly) while on high-flow oxygen. Researchers want to see if this technique affects quality of life and survival more than two years later. Participants answer a phone questionnaire about their health, mobility, and daily activities.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show whether a simple positioning technique during ICU care improves long-term recovery and quality of life after severe COVID-19.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational follow-up, not a new treatment test. Results may not apply to all patients, and quality-of-life measures can be subjective.
