New ICU gown aims to ease patient anxiety during movement
NCT ID NCT06670859
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests a specially designed coverall for intensive care patients who need to move after surgery. The goal is to see if the coverall helps reduce anxiety, improve comfort, protect physical privacy, and increase satisfaction. Thirty patients will try both the coverall and standard care in a crossover design, and their feelings will be measured using surveys and scales.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Mobilization coverall (a special garment for moving patients in the ICU)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this coverall could help ICU patients feel less anxious and more comfortable and private when they need to move after surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all ICU patients. The coverall may not make a meaningful difference.
