- NCT05069428RecruitingPhase 4
Ramelteon to reduce confusion in ICU patients
This trial tests whether ramelteon, a sleep medicine, can reduce delirium—a sudden confusion problem—in people in the intensive care unit (ICU). If you qualify, it may help you (or your loved one) stay clearer and more comfortable during ICU treatment.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07364162RecruitingPhase 2
Ketone Drink for Confusion in the ICU
This trial tests if giving a special ketone drink through a feeding tube or by mouth can help clear confusion in ICU patients. It might speed up recovery and improve thinking.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07485244Recruiting
EEG brain monitoring in ICU patients at risk for delirium
This study uses a simple headband (EEG) to monitor brain activity in ICU patients who are at high risk for delirium. The goal is to see if the EEG can help detect delirium earlier, so doctors can provide better care.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT04801589RecruitingPhase 3
Guided sedation for children on a breathing machine
This study tests a “goal-directed” approach to sedation (giving the right amount based on target goals) for children who need a breathing machine in the pediatric ICU. The goal is to reduce brain and recovery side effects while keeping children comfortable and safe.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 10 months–11 years - NCT06192615RecruitingPhase 3
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.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 60 years+ - NCT06923462Recruiting
VoiceLove app for ICU patients on a ventilator
This study tests a special app called VoiceLove that helps patients in the ICU who are on a breathing machine communicate with their family and care team. The goal is to reduce confusion and improve connection and satisfaction for everyone involved.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07222280Recruiting
Alzheimer's dementia and brain inflammation trial
This trial tests if treating brain inflammation can help older adults hospitalized with sudden confusion or cognitive issues. It may help those without a prior dementia diagnosis but who have toxic or metabolic causes for their symptoms.

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.

- Do I have to live in Tennessee to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Tennessee, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
