Testing oral midazolam for care in elderly with dementia who refuse care
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving a medication called midazolam by mouth can help older adults with memory problems who refuse care to accept it more calmly. It is for people in certain hospital or long-term care units, with moderate to severe memory loss and a history of resisting care.
