Study of risk behaviors in hospitalized confused or agitated patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This is a study that observes how often and what kinds of “risk behaviors” happen in neurosurgery patients who are agitated or confused. It aims to better understand these behaviors so care can be improved for people who are unable to move or who seem restless.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new bedside monitoring system that tracks brain activity in ICU patients who are on a breathing machine and receiving sedative medications. It aims to help doctors better manage sedation and improve patient care.
This study follows people aged 65 and older who are having brain surgery to understand how their independence changes over time and what care they need. It may help doctors improve support for older patients after surgery.
This trial looks at people who show “extreme agitation” in order to better predict what may happen next. It mainly involves observation to understand the possible causes and likely outcomes of severe agitation.
This trial uses a special camera to monitor ICU patients who may become agitated. By watching your face and body movements, doctors hope to detect agitation early and improve your care.
This study looks at whether a special tool that helps reorient patients in time and space can speed up recovery from confusion in older adults. It may help if you or a loved one have been in the hospital and experienced confusion.
This study looks at how memory and thinking change after major surgery in people age 70 and older. It may help doctors understand who is at risk and how to reduce problems with thinking after surgery.
