EEG monitoring for delirium in hospital patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a special cap (EEG) to watch brain activity and help doctors spot delirium earlier in hospital patients. It might help your care team better understand and manage confusion during your stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 55 years of age or older.
- You need to be at risk for or diagnosed with delirium (a state of sudden confusion).
- You must be admitted to the ICU or an oncology (cancer) ward.
- Your hospital stay should last more than one day.
- You must be able to speak and understand English fluently.
- You should not have certain brain conditions like stroke, epilepsy, or Parkinson's disease.

This study tests how well a special brain-monitor (EEG) can be used to assess delirium in people in the ICU. It may help improve delirium detection and monitoring in critically ill patients.
This study checks brain-wave signals during heart surgery (using EEG monitoring) to understand who is at risk for confusion after surgery. If you qualify, your team will track your thinking after the operation to help reduce or better manage postoperative delirium.
This study checks whether using an EEG machine (small sensors that record brain electrical activity) during elective surgery can help prevent or lessen emergence delirium—confusion and agitation right after waking up. It focuses on children under 16 and compares their experience around the time they come out of anesthesia.
This study looks at interventions to help with “postoperative delirium,” a sudden confusion that can happen after surgery, and uses brain measures like EEG and optional MRI. It may help doctors identify who is at risk and learn what approaches are most helpful after surgery.
This study tests a new bedside monitoring system that tracks brain activity in ICU patients who are on a breathing machine and receiving sedative medications. It aims to help doctors better manage sedation and improve patient care.
This study tests a way to identify delirium (sudden confusion) in older adults with Alzheimer's or other dementias while they are in the emergency room or hospital. It may help doctors detect and treat confusion faster.
