Recruiting studies
- NCT07200726Recruiting
Brain inflammation and thinking after heart surgery
This study looks at whether brain inflammation during heart surgery may affect memory and thinking. It includes people aged 60 and older who are having planned heart surgery.
Genk, LimburgAges 60 years+ - NCT06375265Recruiting
Sleep improvement program for older surgery patients
This trial tests a digital sleep improvement program for older adults who are about to have knee or hip replacement surgery. It aims to help you sleep better before and after surgery, which may improve your brain health and recovery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 65 years+ - NCT06423547Recruiting
Predicting confusion after surgery in older adults
This study looks at older patients (65 and older) who have had surgery and anesthesia. It aims to find who is at risk for confusion (delirium) and memory problems afterward. The goal is to help doctors prevent these issues.
BeijingAges 65–100 - NCT06466083Recruiting
Thinking changes after spine surgery in older adults
This study looks at why some older adults have confusion or memory changes after spine surgery. It aims to find patterns that could help prevent these problems.
BeijingAges 65–100 - NCT06466096Recruiting
Thinking and memory after stomach/colon cancer surgery
This study looks at how older adults (65+) think and remember after surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. It compares those who have temporary confusion after surgery with those who don't, to understand long-term changes in brain function.
BeijingAges 65–100 - NCT06482749Recruiting
Magnetic brain stimulation for better recovery after surgery
This study tests whether magnetic brain stimulation before and after surgery can help older adults with mild memory or thinking problems recover their thinking abilities faster. You would receive either real or sham stimulation for a few days around your surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 65 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 - NCT06700291Recruiting
Frailty and thinking problems after surgery in older adults
This study looks at how frailty (a state of being physically weak and less resilient) before hip or knee replacement surgery affects thinking and memory problems after surgery in older adults. It aims to help identify patients who may need extra support.
TbilisiAges 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+ - NCT06036095RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two types of anesthesia in older adults having surgery
This study compares two types of general anesthesia for older adults (70+) having planned non-heart, non-brain surgery that lasts at least 2 hours. The goal is to see which type might be better for preserving thinking and memory after surgery.
Portland, OregonAges 70–110 - NCT07736092Recruiting
Light Therapy Before and After Surgery for Older Adults
This trial tests a gentle light treatment to help prevent thinking problems after surgery in older patients. It involves using a special light on your head before and after your operation.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 65 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+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for postoperative neurocognitive disorder?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 12 recruiting postoperative neurocognitive disorder 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 neurocognitive disorder 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 neurocognitive disorder 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.
