CRITICAL ILLNESS MYOPATHY

This study tests whether high-tech rehabilitation—using robots, virtual reality, and balance platforms—works better than standard therapy for adults with acute neuromuscular diseases like Guillain-Barré syndrome. About 124 participants will be split into two groups to compare imp…

This study tests whether adding special bed cycling to standard physical therapy can reduce muscle breakdown in critically ill patients with sepsis. Researchers will measure inflammation and muscle health in 24 participants. The goal is to understand how physical therapy might pr…

This study follows 100 adults who needed a machine called ECMO to support their heart and lungs after a severe failure. Researchers want to understand how muscle wasting and weakness affect patients' recovery and quality of life. The goal is to find better ways to help people reg…

This study investigates whether serious muscle weakness, known to affect ICU patients, also occurs in those hospitalized outside the ICU. Researchers will follow 600 adults in non-ICU wards, half with organ failure and half without, to track how often weakness develops and what f…

This study looks at why some patients become very weak after being in the intensive care unit (ICU). Researchers will take blood and small muscle samples from 20 high-risk surgical patients to find chemical markers linked to this weakness. The goal is to better understand the pro…
