The Impact & Effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment on Organ

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Critically ill patients are at risk of or suffering from one or more key organs or organ system failure. This study will measure the effect of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) interventions on critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) is effective for prevention and treatment of organ failure in ICU patients. Patients in this group will receive intervention for 2 weeks. A multi-center non-randomized real word data study, will include 3 groups: intervention group (TCM)(n=70), control group and historical control group (admitted to the same ICU in the period of 01.2019 to 12.2023). Main outcomes include sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, ICU length of stay, hospital length of stay, number of days of respirator uses and western medicine medication used study follow up will be 2 weeks.

This study will measure the effect of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) interventions on critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). A multi center non-randomized real word data study, will include 3 groups: intervention group (n=70), control group (patients recruited enrolled to the ICU during the study period) and historical control group (admitted to the same ICU in the period of 01.2019 to 12.2023). The intervention group will receive traditional Chinese herbal medicine and/or acupuncture and/or low level laser applied on acupuncture points depending on TCM doctor decision and patient TCM diagnosis. Intervention period will be 2 weeks. Main outcomes include sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, ICU length of stay, hospital length of stay, number of days of respirator uses and western medicine medication used study follow up will be 2 weeks. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
