Emotional and orientation support to prevent delirium after surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether extra emotional help and re-orienting (helping you know where you are and what’s happening) can lower the risk of confusion called postoperative delirium after surgery. It is designed for older adults having certain types of non-heart, non-brain surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
