Wheat beer to help prevent confusion in ICU patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether drinking wheat beer can lower the risk of delirium, a sudden confusion that can happen in intensive care. If you’re at higher risk and can take the study drink safely, this could help you avoid or reduce delirium.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether giving a special ketone drink to patients in the ICU can reduce or treat delirium (confusion). If you or a loved one is in the ICU, this treatment might help clear up confusion faster.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) in the ICU can help prevent confusion (delirium) in patients. If you are in the surgical ICU at Cedars-Sinai and are expected to stay more than 2 days, you might be able to participate.
This trial tests whether listening to music can help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in older patients in the intensive care unit. If it works, it could offer a simple, drug-free way to protect your thinking during a hospital stay.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether melatonin can reduce delirium, a sudden confusion that can happen in the ICU. If you qualify, you may be given melatonin to see if it improves alertness and comfort during an expected longer ICU stay.
This trial tests whether a set of different care steps in the ICU can help prevent delirium, a sudden episode of confusion. It may help people who are at higher risk because they will likely need ICU care for more than a day.
This study tests whether a nutritional therapy can help older adults in the hospital who have confusion (delirium) or are at risk during serious infections. It aims to see if nutrition changes outcomes for mental status while you’re being treated for infection.
