Recruiting studies
- NCT07258082Recruiting
Ear stimulation for delirium in hospital patients
This study tests a gentle electrical stimulation device placed on the ear to see if it can help reduce confusion (delirium) in hospitalized patients. It is for adults who are right-handed and currently experiencing delirium.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 22 years+ - NCT05640453RecruitingPhase 4
Testing pregabalin or dexmedetomidine for post-surgery delirium
This study compares two medicines—pregabalin and dexmedetomidine—to treat confusion (called delirium) after heart bypass surgery. It aims to see which drug works better to reduce delirium symptoms in older adults after coronary artery bypass surgery.
Tanta, El-Gharbia GovernorateAges 65 years+ - NCT07563244Recruiting
Computer Brain Training for Confusion in Older Adults
This study tests whether using a computer program to do brain exercises can help older adults recover from delirium—a state of confusion that sometimes happens after hospitalization. The goal is to see if this mental stimulation helps people think more clearly and recover faster.
Reus, TarragonaAges 60 years+ - NCT06285721Recruiting
Brain stimulation for treating delirium
This trial tests if a gentle electrical brain stimulation (tACS) can help treat delirium. If you are over 50 and have had delirium for at least two days, you may be eligible.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 50 years+ - NCT07348471Recruiting
Gut bacteria transplant for ICU delirium
This study tests whether giving a transplant of healthy gut bacteria (called fecal microbiota transplantation) can help treat delirium in ICU patients. It may improve brain function by restoring gut health.
WuhanAges 18–80 - NCT06969287RecruitingPhase 3
Testing fluvoxamine to prevent confusion after surgery
This trial tests if a medication called fluvoxamine can help prevent delirium (sudden confusion and disorientation) after non-cardiac surgery. If you are having surgery that requires at least a 2-day hospital stay, this study may be for you.
St Louis, MissouriAges 60 years+ - NCT05713877RecruitingPhase 2
Melatonin to treat confusion in ICU patients
This Phase 2 trial tests whether melatonin can reduce delirium, a sudden confusion that can happen in the ICU. If you qualify, you may be given melatonin to see if it improves alertness and comfort during an expected longer ICU stay.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT07610655Recruiting
Nerve Stimulation to Aid Recovery After Spine Surgery
This study tests whether a small device that gently stimulates a nerve in your neck can help you recover better after lumbar spine surgery. The device may help reduce confusion, depression, and other thinking problems that sometimes occur after surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06004739Recruiting
Antibiotics for older adults with delirium and abnormal urine tests
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics helps older adults in the hospital who have delirium (sudden confusion) and signs of bacteria in their urine but no clear urinary infection. It aims to see if treatment can improve confusion and avoid unnecessary antibiotics.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 60 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for delirium treatment?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 9 recruiting delirium treatment studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a delirium treatment trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a delirium treatment trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
