VR sessions to lower confusion in ICU patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) activities can reduce delirium—new, sudden confusion—in people staying in the ICU. It may help patients feel clearer and more oriented during a longer ICU stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Expect to need a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) for more than 24 hours
- Expect to be in the ICU for more than 72 hours
- Be able to use Chinese for study activities
- Have no severe vision or hearing problems that would block using the VR equipment
- Not have had serious confusion before coming to the ICU

This study tests a virtual reality program that uses calming sights and sounds to help prevent delirium (a state of confusion) in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help keep your mind clear during your stay.
This study tests whether playing cognitive games in virtual reality (VR—a computer-generated environment you interact with using a headset) can help prevent delirium (severe confusion) in older adults after major surgery. Delirium is common after surgery in seniors and can slow recovery; this trial explores whether VR brain exercises might reduce it.
This study tests if using virtual reality can help you feel more comfortable while recovering in the intensive care unit (ICU) after major surgery. If you are having heart or major abdominal surgery and will stay in the ICU for at least 2 days, you may be able to try a VR program to see if it eases your stay.
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) brain exercises before surgery can help prevent confusion or disorientation (delirium) after surgery in older adults with small vessel disease in the brain. It may help you recover more clearly after your operation.
This trial tests if virtual reality can help prevent confusion (delirium) during an ICU stay. It uses relaxing activities to keep the mind clear, which may help you recover faster and with fewer complications.
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.
