Sleep and body clock markers for confusion after surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether sleep patterns and body clock signals can help predict confusion after major orthopedic surgery. You would wear a watch that tracks movement to see how your sleep relates to recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 70 years old or older
- You are scheduled for major orthopedic surgery
- You will stay in the hospital for more than 24 hours after surgery

This study tests whether a combination of sleep therapy, brain games, and light exercise before heart surgery can help prevent confusion or disorientation (delirium) after the operation. Participants will be asked to use a tablet and fitness tracker daily for about an hour before their surgery.
This trial uses an electroencephalogram (EEG), which is a non-invasive way to measure your brain's electrical activity, to see if it can help predict confusion or delirium after planned brain surgery. The goal is to find out if brain wave patterns can warn doctors early, which might lead to better care.
This study looks at how your sleep affects recovery after planned heart surgery. Researchers want to see if better sleep leads to better outcomes, so they will track your sleep quality and health after the operation.
This study looks at whether brain activity patterns during your surgery can predict confusion or delirium after the operation. It may help doctors better prevent postoperative confusion in older adults.
This study looks at how daily body-clock timing (circadian rhythm) and other factors may relate to memory and thinking symptoms in memory clinic patients. You may be asked to wear a small device for about 9 days to track your daily patterns.
This trial tests a digital sleep improvement program for older adults who are about to have knee or hip replacement surgery. It aims to help you sleep better before and after surgery, which may improve your brain health and recovery.
