First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) can help preserve muscle mass in critically ill patients on ECMO (a type of life support). Researchers will measure changes in thigh muscle size and strength in 50 adults. The goal is to see if adding NMES to standard care helps patients maintain muscle while in the ICU.
