- NCT05461092RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Nerve blocks to improve pain control after spinal fusion
This early-stage study tests whether a regional nerve block can improve pain control and recovery for older adults having elective lumbar spinal fusion. If you qualify, you may receive a special pain-control injection during surgery to reduce opioid needs and improve recovery comfort.

Study to collect brainwave data for ICU delirium
This study tests how well a special brain-monitor (EEG) can be used to assess delirium in people in the ICU. It may help improve delirium detection and monitoring in critically ill patients.

Study of ICU staffing and support strategies
This study looks at how different staffing and support strategies may help patients who need a breathing machine in the ICU. Researchers want to see if these approaches can improve care and recovery.

Can a sleep medication protect the brain after heart surgery?
This study tests whether a medicine called dexmedetomidine, given after heart surgery, can help prevent confusion and thinking problems in older adults during their intensive care stay. If you are 60 or older and having heart surgery with a heart-lung machine, this trial might be for you.

What taking part in a delirium study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
