Nurse-led app to prevent confusion in older patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a nurse-led app to help prevent confusion (delirium) in older patients. If you are at risk, the app may help keep you clearer and safer during your hospital stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 80 years old or older.
- You need at least three risk factors for delirium, like being male, taking many medications, or having a urinary tract infection or blockage.
- You must be admitted to a geriatric (elderly care) unit.
- You must have social support from family or friends.

This trial is testing practical ways to recognize delirium, a sudden type of hospital confusion, in older patients. It may help your care team spot confusion earlier and respond sooner.
This trial tests a “care plan” meant to lower the risk of confusion (delirium) after surgery in people age 70 and older. If you qualify, you may receive additional prevention-focused care before and around your operation.
This study tests whether a smart audiovisual program (using sounds and images) can help prevent confusion (delirium), reduce agitation, and ease pain in older adults staying in the emergency intensive care unit. It may help you feel calmer and more comfortable during your stay.
This trial tests a special sleep-promoting protocol (using eye masks, earplugs, and other measures) to help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in intensive care patients. If you or a loved one are in the ICU, this treatment might help reduce confusion and improve recovery.
This study tests whether using a computer program to do brain exercises can help older adults recover from delirium—a state of confusion that sometimes happens after hospitalization. The goal is to see if this mental stimulation helps people think more clearly and recover faster.
This study tests a hospital program designed to prevent delirium (sudden confusion) after surgery in patients aged 65 and older. If you are having surgery in the hospital, this program might help you recover more clearly.
