Study of brain confusion in sepsis patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study builds a group of adults with sepsis who develop sudden brain problems, like delirium or coma. It aims to better understand how often this happens and how it may be recognized in hospital, which could help future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re diagnosed with sepsis and meet “Sepsis-3” criteria
- You expect to stay in the hospital longer than 24 hours
- You’re between 18 and 89 years old
- You have new sudden brain symptoms during the current illness (like delirium, coma, seizures, or new weakness/nerve problems)
- Your body also meets non-infectious SIRS criteria (a certain pattern of body inflammation responses)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how sepsis (a severe infection) affects brain wave patterns and thinking abilities. It aims to understand if different types of inflammation in sepsis are linked to different cognitive problems.
This trial studies treatments for sepsis, a serious infection complication, in ICU patients. It aims to find better ways to care for critically ill patients with sepsis.
This study looks at whether certain proteins in the blood can help predict if people who survive sepsis will have long-term thinking or memory issues. It aims to identify those at higher risk early so they can get the right support.
This study looks at different types (“endotypes”) of sepsis in adults to better understand what’s happening in the body and how patients may respond. You might be asked to provide information and samples as the study tries to sort sepsis into meaningful subgroups.
This study looks at what causes severe seizure episodes (“status epilepticus”) and a related immune condition that affects the brain (“dysimmune encephalitis”). The goal is to better understand the disease process, which may guide future care.
This trial looks at Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) in adults in the ICU. It may help doctors better understand and manage a condition that can cause seizures, confusion, headaches, and vision problems, and that typically shows specific changes on brain scans.
