Zapping muscles in the ICU: a simple way to stop weakness?
Disease control CompletedThis study tested whether neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) can prevent muscle wasting in patients on mechanical ventilators in the ICU. 22 adults were split into a control group and an NMES group, receiving stimulation sessions for at least 7 days. Researchers used ult…

AI and ultrasound join forces to detect hidden muscle decline in the ICU
Diagnosis CompletedThis study explores whether artificial intelligence can analyze ultrasound images of muscles to detect intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW), a common complication in critically ill patients. Researchers will compare AI-based assessments with standard clinical evaluations…

Vibration or electrical stimulation: which better fights ICU muscle loss?
Symptom relief CompletedThis study tested two non-drug treatments—whole-body vibration and neuromuscular electrical stimulation—in 60 ICU patients with muscle weakness. Patients received one of the therapies twice daily for two weeks, alongside standard care. Researchers measured muscle strength and thi…
