Huperzine A to reduce confusion after non-heart surgery
This trial studies whether a medicine called huperzine A can reduce “postoperative delirium,” which is sudden confusion after surgery, in older adults. It focuses on people having non-heart surgery under general anesthesia for at least two hours.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 75 years+ - NCT05915377Recruiting
Screening for hospital confusion in older adults
This trial is testing practical ways to recognize delirium, a sudden type of hospital confusion, in older patients. It may help your care team spot confusion earlier and respond sooner.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 70 years+ - NCT06721819RecruitingPhase 3
Sleep and brain training before heart surgery to prevent delirium
This study tests whether a combination of sleep therapy, brain games, and light exercise before heart surgery can help prevent confusion or disorientation (delirium) after the operation. Participants will be asked to use a tablet and fitness tracker daily for about an hour before their surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 60 years+ - NCT06817239Recruiting
Low-dose esketamine for preventing confusion after surgery in older adults
This study tests whether a low dose of the medicine esketamine can help prevent confusion after surgery in older adults at higher risk. You may qualify if you are 65 or older, planning a major non-cardiac surgery, and have certain health conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 65–90 - NCT04355195Recruiting
Preventing delirium after surgery in older patients
This trial tests a “care plan” meant to lower the risk of confusion (delirium) after surgery in people age 70 and older. If you qualify, you may receive additional prevention-focused care before and around your operation.
BerlinAges 70 years+ - NCT06257095Recruiting
Phone Support Program for Older Adults Leaving APS
This study is testing a phone-based support program for older adults who have been helped by Adult Protective Services and are now moving on. College students in health fields will provide friendly, weekly check-in calls to help with social and emotional needs.

Apathy and thinking changes in older adults with bipolar disorder
This study looks at whether apathy and certain brain markers can help predict memory and thinking problems in people over 70 with bipolar disorder. If you are 70-85, have bipolar disorder, and are currently stable (no recent mood episodes), you may be able to join.
