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 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 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 study tests whether changing the hospital room environment can help prevent confusion (delirium) in older adults who are not in intensive care. If you are 70 or older and admitted to a regular hospital unit, you may be able to take part.
This study follows patients who experienced delirium in the ICU to track how their thinking and memory recover over time, and what factors might help or hinder that recovery.
This trial looks at people over age 50 who have mild thinking or memory problems but do not have dementia by standard clinical criteria. It tests how these early changes are characterized and measured using exams such as blood tests and brain scans, which may help improve understanding and future care.
