Light and noise in the ICU and delirium risk
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how light and noise in the intensive care unit (ICU) might affect confusion and disorientation (delirium). By tracking these environmental factors, researchers hope to find ways to reduce delirium for ICU patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at why some patients in intensive care develop confusion (delirium) and whether light exposure affects it. It may help improve care for older patients in the hospital.
This trial tests whether listening to music can help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in older patients in the intensive care unit. If it works, it could offer a simple, drug-free way to protect your thinking during a hospital stay.
This trial studies whether digital tools and blood tests can help detect delirium (sudden confusion) in ICU patients. If you or your loved one is in the ICU, this research could lead to better monitoring and care.
This study tests a computerized tool that automatically measures how severe delirium (sudden confusion) is for ICU patients. Researchers want to see if it can help monitor and manage delirium better without adding extra work for nurses.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether melatonin can reduce delirium, a sudden confusion that can happen in the ICU. If you qualify, you may be given melatonin to see if it improves alertness and comfort during an expected longer ICU stay.
This study tests if a virtual reality sensory program can help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in intensive care unit patients. It might benefit adults newly admitted to the ICU.
