NCT ID NCT07362862

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests whether a device called MyokinE100, which sends electrical signals to the thigh muscles, is safe and practical for use in the ICU. It includes 50 critically ill patients with sepsis who are at risk of muscle weakness. Half will receive standard care plus daily 60-minute sessions of electrical stimulation, while the other half gets standard care alone. Researchers will monitor for side effects and measure muscle strength changes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

MyokinE100 electrical muscle stimulation device

What this could lead to

If successful, this device could help ICU patients maintain muscle strength and recover faster, reducing long-term disability.

What could go wrong

This is an early feasibility study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The device may cause discomfort or skin irritation, and it is not yet proven to prevent weakness.
