Study of sleep problems and delirium in hospitalized adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how sleep disturbances may be connected to delirium (sudden confusion) in people staying in the hospital. It may help researchers find ways to prevent delirium by understanding sleep and early warning signs.

This study tests a way to detect and track sleep patterns in older adults living in long-term care facilities, which could help improve care and well-being.
This study tests whether a special program led by nurses can help reduce stress and improve sleep for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). If you join, you may receive extra support to make your hospital stay calmer and more restful.
This study aims to improve sleep quality for people in nursing homes who have Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia and are having sleep problems. It uses a sleep-focused approach through staff “sleep huddles” and checks sleep patterns to see what helps.
This study looks at sleep quality in people living in assisted-living. It aims to see what changes (or routines) may improve sleep, especially in residents who are physically independent.
This trial tests a special sleep-promoting protocol (using eye masks, earplugs, and other measures) to help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in intensive care patients. If you or a loved one are in the ICU, this treatment might help reduce confusion and improve recovery.
This study tests whether changing the hospital room environment can help prevent confusion (delirium) in older adults who are not in intensive care. If you are 70 or older and admitted to a regular hospital unit, you may be able to take part.
