EEG monitoring to predict and prevent postoperative delirium
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study checks brain-wave signals during heart surgery (using EEG monitoring) to understand who is at risk for confusion after surgery. If you qualify, your team will track your thinking after the operation to help reduce or better manage postoperative delirium.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 18 years old
- Have normal thinking before surgery (MMSE score above 24 out of 30)
- Speak Chinese Mandarin as your native language
- Agree to join the study by signing informed consent
- Have no delirium already before surgery (no active confusion episode)

This study checks whether using an EEG machine (small sensors that record brain electrical activity) during elective surgery can help prevent or lessen emergence delirium—confusion and agitation right after waking up. It focuses on children under 16 and compares their experience around the time they come out of anesthesia.
This study looks at interventions to help with “postoperative delirium,” a sudden confusion that can happen after surgery, and uses brain measures like EEG and optional MRI. It may help doctors identify who is at risk and learn what approaches are most helpful after surgery.
This trial is testing whether a routine EEG (brain wave test) can help spot delirium early in older adults admitted to the ICU or oncology unit. Delirium causes sudden confusion, and finding it faster could lead to better care.
This study tests a new way to predict delirium (sudden confusion) after heart surgery by using brain monitoring. It may help doctors detect early warning signs so they can act faster.
This study uses a special brain-wave monitor during your surgery to see if it can predict confusion or memory problems afterward. It may help you and your doctors better understand your recovery.
This trial uses an electroencephalogram (EEG), which is a non-invasive way to measure your brain's electrical activity, to see if it can help predict confusion or delirium after planned brain surgery. The goal is to find out if brain wave patterns can warn doctors early, which might lead to better care.
