This study tests different ways to manage pain and help older patients get moving again sooner after major surgery. If you are 65 or older and in the ICU, this trial may help you recover more comfortably and quickly.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 65 years+ - NCT06814054Recruiting
Predicting low blood pressure after anesthesia in older patients
This study uses ultrasound measurements of the carotid artery and vena cava to predict if older patients might experience low blood pressure after going under general anesthesia for elective surgery. If successful, it could help doctors take preventive steps.
Tanta, El GharbyiaAges 65 years+ - NCT06652828Recruiting
Treadmill training to prevent falls in older adults
This study tests a special treadmill training that gently pushes you off balance to help you learn to catch yourself and prevent falls. It is for older adults who are at high risk of falling.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 70 years+ - NCT07609186Recruiting
Sound therapy during cataract surgery in older adults
This study tests whether listening to special binaural sounds (through earphones) during cataract surgery helps older patients stay calm and comfortable. The surgery uses light sedation, and researchers want to see if the sounds improve the experience.
SeoulAges 65 years+ - NCT05619731Recruiting
Telehealth geriatric care for older adults with cancer
This trial checks whether video visits (teleconsulting) that include a “geriatric oncology” assessment can better support older adults with cancer. It may help your care plan by considering age-related health needs, not just cancer treatment.

Manual vs. Automatic Breathing Support During Surgery in Older Adults
This study compares two ways of helping you breathe during anesthesia for surgery: one controlled by an anesthesiologist by hand, and one using an automatic machine. Researchers want to see which method works better and is safer for patients 65 and older.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 65 years+ - NCT07273357Recruiting
CDK4/6 inhibitors for older breast cancer patients
This study looks at how well older breast cancer patients (70 years and older) do when treated with a type of drug called a CDK4/6 inhibitor along with hormone therapy after surgery. The goal is to use simple health checks to help doctors decide if this treatment is right for you.
GävleAges 70 years+ - NCT07530146RecruitingPhase 3
Sedation Medications for Older ICU Patients on Breathing Machines
This study compares two sedation medications—propofol alone versus propofol combined with ketamine—in older patients in the ICU who are on breathing machines due to infection or lung problems. The goal is to find which combination is safer and works better for keeping patients calm and comfortable.
CairoAges 65 years+ - NCT07411313Recruiting
Ultrasound to predict low blood pressure in older adults having spinal anesthesia
This trial uses ultrasound to check your internal jugular vein, which may help predict if your blood pressure will drop during spinal anesthesia. It aims to find better ways to keep you safe during surgery.
Ankara, YENİMAHALLEAges 65 years+ - NCT07205354Recruiting
