Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction (POCD) clinical trials
Below are recruiting postoperative cognitive dysfunction (pocd) clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 8 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT03360838Recruiting
Prediction test for confusion after heart surgery in older adults
This study uses a short, self-answered thinking test before elective heart surgery to help predict who may develop confusion afterward. The goal is to improve early identification and care planning for patients at higher risk.
BaselAges 60 years+ - NCT05555693Recruiting
Brain chemistry study after surgery in older adults
This study looks at how brain “metabolomics” (small chemical signals in the brain/body) relate to thinking or mood problems that can happen after surgery in people age 65 and older. It may help doctors understand who is more likely to have these side effects after an operation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 65 years+ - NCT07396532Recruiting
iPad messages to prevent delirium after hip fracture surgery
This trial tests if audio-recorded messages played on an iPad can help prevent confusion (delirium) after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It is for people aged 60 and older who do not have a history of memory or thinking problems.
SingaporeAges 60 years+ - NCT07483047Recruiting
Predicting memory changes after heart surgery in older adults
This study looks at older adults having heart surgery to find out who might have trouble thinking or remembering afterward. Researchers hope to build a tool to predict this risk so doctors can help sooner.
ShanghaiAges 65 years+ - NCT07589348Recruiting
Brain Function After Gynecologic Surgery
This study measures whether women experience changes in thinking and memory after having gynecologic surgery (removal of uterus and/or ovaries). Researchers want to understand how anesthesia and surgery affect the brain and identify who might be at risk.
İzmit, KocaeliAges 18 years+ - NCT07598552Recruiting
Brain Function Changes After Same-Day Hip or Knee Surgery
This study checks whether patients who have hip or knee replacement surgery and go home the same day experience any temporary changes in thinking or memory. Researchers want to understand how anesthesia and surgery affect the brain in the short term.
SvendborgAges 70 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 - NCT02832193Recruiting
Uses past anesthesia test data to study memory after surgery
This study looks back at information already collected around elective surgery to understand how anesthesia and surgery may affect thinking and memory (sometimes called POCD). It mainly uses records and questionnaires rather than adding a new treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for postoperative cognitive dysfunction (pocd)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 8 recruiting postoperative cognitive dysfunction (pocd) 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 postoperative cognitive dysfunction (pocd) 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 postoperative cognitive dysfunction (pocd) 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.
