Reducing delirium after heart bypass with early activity and sleep routines
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a program that combines gentle early activity and sleep-friendly routines after heart bypass surgery. It aims to reduce the risk of delirium—sudden confusion that can happen after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 21 years or older.
- You speak English or Mandarin comfortably.

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 study tests whether improving sleep before heart surgery can help prevent confusion (delirium) after surgery. Participants will get a sleep intervention (possibly including melatonin) before their operation, and the trial will monitor their recovery.
This research examines how sleep issues before heart surgery may affect how well patients recover afterward. Researchers will study blood markers and chemical changes to better understand this connection and potentially improve surgical outcomes.
This trial tests if helping young children with sleep problems before heart surgery can reduce confusion or agitation after surgery. It is for children ages 0 to 3 who have sleep issues and are scheduled for heart repair surgery.
This study tests whether a stress-reducing relaxation method before heart surgery can lower the risk of postoperative delirium (sudden confusion) and longer-term thinking problems. It may help you keep clearer thinking in the days and weeks after surgery.
This study tests whether wearing an eye mask during recovery after heart bypass surgery improves sleep quality and reduces confusion (delirium). If you are having a planned heart bypass and are comfortable using an eye mask, this simple intervention might help you rest better and think more clearly after surgery.
