Tested a new plan to support older adults after surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 60 or older
- You are having major planned surgery that usually requires at least one overnight hospital stay
- Your pre-surgery thinking/memory screening shows possible cognitive impairment (below a set cutoff score)
- You are not having heart surgery
- You are not having brain or head (intracranial) surgery
- You do not have a substance use disorder you disclose verbally, and you can reliably take part in study check-ins

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 study looks at how well older adults think and remember before and after surgery to see if any changes are linked to complications after surgery. It may help doctors understand and reduce post-surgery confusion or memory problems.
This study tests a hospital program designed to prevent delirium (sudden confusion) after surgery in patients aged 65 and older. If you are having surgery in the hospital, this program might help you recover more clearly.
This study looks at ways to predict and prevent complications in older adults after major heart or blood vessel surgery. It may help reduce risks and improve recovery.
This trial tests a “care plan” meant to lower the risk of confusion (delirium) after surgery in people age 70 and older. If you qualify, you may receive additional prevention-focused care before and around your operation.
This study adds an extra scientific program to help prevent confusion (“delirium”) after surgery in older adults. If you were already planned to join the main prevention program, this may help improve how care is delivered and how outcomes are measured.
