Below are recruiting postoperative delirium and postoperative cognitive decline clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 10 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+ - NCT04493996Recruiting
Cognitive training before heart surgery to protect memory
This trial tests whether brain-focused cognitive training before elective heart surgery can help reduce memory and thinking problems afterward. If you qualify, you may do language-based thinking exercises and complete short brain tests around the time of surgery.
Bad NauheimAges 18 years+ - NCT05036538Recruiting
Reducing pre-surgery stress to help prevent confusion after heart surgery
This study tests whether a stress-reducing relaxation method before heart surgery can lower the risk of postoperative delirium (sudden confusion) and longer-term thinking problems. It may help you keep clearer thinking in the days and weeks after surgery.
Bad Nauheim, HesseAges 18 years+ - NCT05114876Recruiting
Tested a new plan to support older adults after surgery
This study looks at a redesigned surgical care plan to better support older adults who may have memory or thinking changes after major planned surgery. If you qualify, you would be assessed before surgery and followed after to see whether this approach helps.
Toronto, OntarioAges 60 years+ - NCT06052397Recruiting
Sleep and body clock markers for confusion after surgery
This trial tests whether sleep patterns and body clock signals can help predict confusion after major orthopedic surgery. You would wear a watch that tracks movement to see how your sleep relates to recovery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 70 years+ - NCT06268080Recruiting
Sedation depth and mental recovery after surgery for older adults
This trial tests whether monitoring how deeply you sleep during anesthesia helps prevent confusion and memory problems after surgery. It is for older adults who can give consent and are having a major operation.
Grafton, AucklandAges 55 years+ - NCT06721819RecruitingPhase 3
Sleep and brain training before heart surgery to prevent delirium
This study tests whether a combination of sleep therapy, brain games, and light exercise before heart surgery can help prevent confusion or disorientation (delirium) after the operation. Participants will be asked to use a tablet and fitness tracker daily for about an hour before their surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 60 years+ - NCT07217912RecruitingPhase 2
Study of daridorexant to prevent confusion after heart surgery
This trial tests whether a sleep medication called daridorexant can help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in older adults after heart surgery. You must be 60 or older and having a specific type of heart operation.
Rochester, New YorkAges 60 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+ - NCT05140993Recruiting
Emotional and orientation support to prevent delirium after surgery
This study tests whether extra emotional help and re-orienting (helping you know where you are and what’s happening) can lower the risk of confusion called postoperative delirium after surgery. It is designed for older adults having certain types of non-heart, non-brain surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for postoperative delirium and postoperative cognitive decline?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 10 recruiting postoperative delirium and postoperative cognitive decline 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 delirium and postoperative cognitive decline 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 delirium and postoperative cognitive decline 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.
