Preventing confusion after hip fracture surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a special care plan (the 'Delirium Zero Protocol') to help prevent confusion (delirium) after hip fracture surgery. It is for people over 65 who are having hip fracture surgery and have a family member or caregiver who can be involved.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 65 years or older.
- You are scheduled for surgery to fix a hip fracture.
- You will be admitted to one of the participating hospitals in Valencia, Spain.
- You have a family member or caregiver who speaks and reads Spanish and can help during your stay.

This trial tests if audio-recorded messages played on an iPad can help prevent confusion (delirium) after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It is for people aged 60 and older who do not have a history of memory or thinking problems.
This study compares two anesthesia methods during hip fracture surgery in older adults to see if one reduces the risk of confusion (delirium) after the operation. If you qualify, you'll be randomly assigned to one of the two anesthesia groups, both of which are commonly used in practice.
This study tests whether a medication called dexmedetomidine, given during or after hip fracture surgery, can help prevent confusion (delirium) that sometimes occurs in older patients after surgery. If you are 65 or older and having hip fracture surgery, this treatment might help you recover more clearly.
This study looks at how bleeding after a hip fracture might affect confusion (delirium) in older adults. It will help doctors understand how to better manage bleeding to prevent confusion.
This study looks at when a nerve block (a medicine that numbs the leg) is given before hip fracture surgery. It checks if the timing affects confusion (delirium) after surgery, helping older adults recover more clearly.
This study tests if a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can reduce postoperative delirium (sudden confusion) in older adults recovering from hip fracture surgery. It aims to see if tDCS is a safe, drug-free way to protect brain function.
