Psychological Symptoms and Families of COVID-19 Patients
NCT04501445 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Families of patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) are at increased risk for developing psychological symptoms that can last for months after the patient is discharged. These symptoms can have significant impact on both the patient and family member's quality of life. The investigators have found that families of patients admitted to the Rush University Medical Center ICU during to the COVID-19 pandemic were more likely to develop clinically significant psychological symptoms than families of patients admitted prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The investigators suspect that this finding is due in part to the hospital-wide no visitation policy that altered our standard communication practices and may have prevented families from being active participants in the patient's medical care. The goals of this project are 1) to determine the prevalence of psychological disorders among families of COVID-19 patients after ICU discharge 2) to determine the characteristics of ICU care that were associated with the development of psychological disorders among family members and 3) to pilot a program in which families with psychological disorders after ICU discharge receive therapy from mental health professionals.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04501445
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04501445 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 90 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Rush University Medical Center, which has 168 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Written Summary of Rounds 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: NCT04501445 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Illinois. 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.
