Recruiting studies
- NCT05595954Recruiting
Personalized anesthesia plan to protect the brain during heart surgery
This trial studies whether tailoring anesthesia and monitoring the brain’s blood-flow control during heart surgery can improve neurological outcomes (brain-related function and recovery). It may help by guiding anesthesia in a more individualized way and checking how well the brain is protected during the operation.
BaselAges 65 years+ - NCT07403747Recruiting
Using a ride-on toy car to reduce anxiety during surgery prep
This study tests if letting preschool boys ride a toy car to the operating room helps them feel less anxious. It may be a good option if your child is having tonsil or adenoid surgery for the first time.
AnkaraAges 3–7 - NCT07403773Recruiting
Home doll vs hospital doll for preschool girls before surgery
This study compares having your child bring her own doll from home versus using a hospital doll to help her feel less anxious before tonsil or adenoid surgery. The goal is to see which doll works better to reduce fear.
Ankara, ÇANKAYAAges 3–7 - NCT07449468Recruiting
Nerve block to prevent confusion after hip replacement
This trial tests whether a nerve block (PENG block) can reduce confusion (delirium) after hip replacement surgery in older adults. It is for people 75+ scheduled for a first-time hip replacement under spinal anesthesia.
PoznanAges 75–100 - NCT07488468Recruiting
Shortening fasting before planned surgery
This trial tests a program to reduce how long patients must fast before elective surgery. Shorter fasting may make patients more comfortable and could help recovery.
GiessenAges Any age - NCT07542834Recruiting
Virtual Reality Training for Medical Students
This study tests whether using virtual reality can help medical students learn better and feel more confident in their training. Researchers will compare how students learn with VR versus traditional methods.
Athens, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07562048Recruiting
Comfort Cuddling for Children in Critical Care
This study looks at whether gentle cuddling and physical comfort help children feel better while they're in the intensive care unit. Researchers believe close contact with caregivers may reduce stress and improve how children recover.
Calgary, AlbertaAges Up to 18 years - NCT07568093Recruiting
Music therapy to reduce agitation after abdominal surgery
This study tests whether listening to music after abdominal surgery can help reduce agitation and anxiety during recovery. Researchers will compare patients who receive music therapy with standard care to see if it improves comfort and outcomes.
Hanover, Lower SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT07571707Recruiting
Lollipops to Reduce Confusion After Surgery in Young Children
This study tests whether giving children a lollipop after surgery helps prevent confusion and agitation as they wake up from anesthesia. Emergence delirium—when children are disoriented and upset after anesthesia—is common, and the researchers want to see if this simple comfort measure helps.
Denpasar, BaliAges 2–6 - NCT07588178Recruiting
Sleep Problems Before Heart Surgery: Study on Recovery
This research examines how sleep issues before heart surgery may affect how well patients recover afterward. Researchers will study blood markers and chemical changes to better understand this connection and potentially improve surgical outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07627906RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing Two Sedatives to Prevent Confusion After Cancer Surgery
This study tests two different sedative medications (ketofol and ketodex) to see which one better prevents postoperative delirium—a type of confusion that can happen after surgery—in older adults undergoing cancer surgery. The goal is to find the safest, most effective option for elderly patients.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 60 years+ - NCT07637357Recruiting
How anesthesia affects thinking after weight-loss surgery
This study looks at how different types of anesthesia used during sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss surgery) may affect your memory and thinking skills after the operation. Researchers want to understand which anesthesia approach is safest for your brain.
Istanbul, SancaktepeAges 18–65 - NCT06677502Enrolling by invitation
Cerebrolysin for delirium in ICU patients
This trial tests a medicine called Cerebrolysin to see if it helps reduce confusion and agitation (delirium) in patients who are critically ill and being treated in the ICU. It may be an option for you if you are over 18 and have delirium symptoms.
Lubin, Lublin VoivodeshipAges 18–100

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for delirium?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 205 recruiting delirium 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 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 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.
