First seen Jan 23, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the thigh muscles of people in the intensive care unit (ICU). The goal is to see if it is safe and practical to use, and whether it can help prevent muscle weakness that often happens during long ICU stays. About 50 adults with sepsis will either receive standard care or standard care plus daily 60-minute sessions with the device. Researchers will measure muscle strength and check for any side effects.
