Recruiting studies
- NCT07759310Recruiting
Teamwork training for ICU nurses to reduce delirium
This study is testing a training program that helps ICU nurses improve how they prevent and manage delirium (a state of confusion that can happen in hospital). If you are an ICU nurse, this training could help you feel more confident in caring for patients with this condition.
Pisa, PIAges 18 years+ - NCT07364162RecruitingPhase 2
Ketone drink for confusion in intensive care patients
This trial tests whether giving a special ketone drink to patients in the ICU can reduce or treat delirium (confusion). If you or a loved one is in the ICU, this treatment might help clear up confusion faster.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07357389Recruiting
Preventing ICU confusion with virtual reality
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) in the ICU can help prevent confusion (delirium) in patients. If you are in the surgical ICU at Cedars-Sinai and are expected to stay more than 2 days, you might be able to participate.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 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 - NCT06054828Recruiting
Modified ICU program to prevent confusion
This trial tests a special program for people in the ICU who are on a breathing machine. The program aims to prevent confusion and help patients recover better.
Taipei, National Taiwan UniversityAges 18 years+ - NCT06880263Enrolling by invitation
VR training to help nurses manage delirium
This trial tests if virtual reality (VR) training can improve how nurses care for patients with delirium (sudden confusion). It is for nurses who work directly with patients in a hospital setting.
TaipeiAges 20–65 - NCT05525702Recruiting
VR sessions to lower confusion in ICU patients
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) activities can reduce delirium—new, sudden confusion—in people staying in the ICU. It may help patients feel clearer and more oriented during a longer ICU stay.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT07218484Recruiting
VoiceLove therapy for confusion after ICU surgery
This trial tests if a digital therapy called VoiceLove can help prevent or treat delirium (sudden confusion) in patients recovering from major surgery in the ICU. It also involves family members and care teams in the therapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06172491Recruiting
Automated tool to measure ICU delirium severity
This study tests a computerized tool that automatically measures how severe delirium (sudden confusion) is for ICU patients. Researchers want to see if it can help monitor and manage delirium better without adding extra work for nurses.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 50 years+ - NCT07452939Recruiting
Brain stimulation to help memory after ICU delirium
This study tests if a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called theta burst stimulation can improve thinking and memory problems that can happen after a stay in the ICU with delirium. It may help people who are still having cognitive issues a few months after leaving the hospital.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 50–75 - NCT04876742Recruiting
Wheat beer to help prevent confusion in ICU patients
This study tests whether drinking wheat beer can lower the risk of delirium, a sudden confusion that can happen in intensive care. If you’re at higher risk and can take the study drink safely, this could help you avoid or reduce delirium.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07407400RecruitingPhase 4
Sleep medication to prevent confusion in older ICU patients
This study tests whether a sleep medication called lemborexant can help older patients in the ICU sleep better and prevent post-surgery confusion. It may be a good fit if you are over 65 and will be in the ICU for at least two days after surgery.
BangkokAges 65 years+ - NCT05950958Recruiting
Preventing ICU confusion with several supportive care steps
This trial tests whether a set of different care steps in the ICU can help prevent delirium, a sudden episode of confusion. It may help people who are at higher risk because they will likely need ICU care for more than a day.
SeoulAges 50 years+ - NCT06184945Recruiting
Behavioral and staffing strategies in the ICU
This study tests different ways of organizing care and supporting patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) to see if they can improve recovery and well-being. It focuses on adults who need a breathing tube and are in the ICU for at least a day.
Iowa City, IowaAges 19 years+ - NCT07694687Recruiting
Studying a tool to spot confusion in intensive care patients
This study tests a new way to check for delirium (sudden confusion) in patients staying in the intensive care unit (ICU). It also looks at how family members can help spot these changes, so the care team can help sooner.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05891873Recruiting
Study delirium during ICU care for stroke patients
This study looks at “delirium,” a sudden confusion that can happen during critical care, in people receiving ICU treatment for stroke. It includes both adults and children in specific ICU settings and may help clinicians better prevent or manage confusion during recovery.
BrnoAges Any age - 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+ - NCT05127265Recruiting
AI and sensors to monitor patients in the ICU
This study uses AI and sensor data to better monitor people while they are in an intensive care unit (ICU). It may help teams notice changes sooner and improve care for ICU patients.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06770751Recruiting
Family involvement in intensive care
This study looks at how having a family member actively involved in care affects patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). You may be able to join if you are over 18 and have a family member who can help with your care.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT04722939Recruiting
Testing brain function outcomes after ICU kidney failure treatment
This trial studies how treating severe kidney injury in the ICU may affect patients’ brain and thinking function over time. It compares measurements of brain activity and function after starting kidney replacement therapy.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06681649Recruiting
ICU follow-up care for survivors and their caregivers
This study tests a bundle of follow-up care for ICU survivors and their caregivers after leaving the hospital. It aims to improve recovery and support for both patients and their families.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07709975Recruiting
Pain relief and early movement for older ICU patients
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+ - NCT07649876Recruiting
Virtual Reality to Reduce Anxiety in Critically Ill Patients
This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset—which shows calming scenes like nature—can help reduce anxiety, agitation, and confusion in patients admitted to the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if VR can help patients feel more comfortable during their recovery.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT06749483Recruiting
Gut bacteria and infection in intensive care patients
This study looks at how gut bacteria affect severe infections in the ICU. It tests whether the microbiome can be a source of sepsis and a target for treatment. If you are critically ill or a long-term sepsis survivor, you might help find new ways to prevent infections.

- How do I know if I qualify for a icu 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 icu 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.
