What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether using technology like handgrip games, virtual reality, and in-bed cycling, along with family help, can prevent muscle weakness in ICU patients on breathing machines. 138 critically ill adults will be split into three groups: one gets the tech-assisted program, one gets standard early exercise, and one gets usual care. Researchers will measure muscle strength, delirium, sleep, and quality of life up to six months after leaving the hospital.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Technology-assisted early mobilization program (handgrip games, virtual reality, in-bed cycling)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a better way to prevent muscle weakness in ICU patients, potentially improving recovery and quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (138 participants) testing a non-drug intervention, so results may not be generalizable. The technology may not be feasible for all patients or settings.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 138 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Mar 2025

Expected to finish

Apr 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged ≥ 18 years * Being mechanically ventilated ≥ 24 hours * Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS): 0 to -1 * No vision, hearing, or body movements restriction * With clear consciousness and ability to communicate in Chinese * Expected to stay in the ICU \> 96 hours. Exclusion Criteria: * Have developed delirium before enrollment (ICDSC \> 4) * With acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE II) score \> 25 after ICU admission within 24 hours * With muscle weakness caused by severe acute brain injury (e.g., traumatic brain injury or stroke), spinal coral injury, other neuromuscular conduction diseases, or long-term bedridden or hemiplegia.
