The Diagnosis and Incidence of Critical Illness Polyneuromyopathy in Medical and Neurosurgical ICU Patients
NCT02634658 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This study plans to learn more about whether simpler diagnostic tests can be used to identify the development of acute neuromuscular loss of function in patients with critical illness and respiratory failure receiving mechanical ventilation. ICU patients admitted to the University of Colorado Hospital will be screened for eligibility and enrollment in the study to receive weekly measurements of nerve and muscle function through nerve conduction studies (NCS), muscle ultrasound tests, and concentric needle electromyography (EMG) tests.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02634658
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02634658 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 120 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Colorado, Denver, which has 1,447 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Critical Illness appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Electromyography is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02634658 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Colorado. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
