A combined approach to lower delirium risk in the ICU
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a program that combines physical, mental, and social support to help prevent delirium (confusion and disorientation) in patients who are in the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 15 days. It may help you stay clearer and more alert during your ICU stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You are expected to be in the ICU for at least 15 days because of a brain aneurysm, an unruptured brain aneurysm, or an arteriovenous malformation (an abnormal tangle of blood vessels in the brain).
- You have normal thinking and memory (score above 24 on a standard test).
- You are fully alert (Glasgow Coma Score of 15).
- You can move at least one arm or leg.
- Your pain is mild (less than 5 out of 10).

This study looks at “delirium,” a sudden confusion that can happen during critical care, in people receiving ICU treatment for stroke. It includes both adults and children in specific ICU settings and may help clinicians better prevent or manage confusion during recovery.
This trial tests whether a set of different care steps in the ICU can help prevent delirium, a sudden episode of confusion. It may help people who are at higher risk because they will likely need ICU care for more than a day.
This study tests if a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called theta burst stimulation can improve thinking and memory problems that can happen after a stay in the ICU with delirium. It may help people who are still having cognitive issues a few months after leaving the hospital.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) in the ICU can help prevent confusion (delirium) in patients. If you are in the surgical ICU at Cedars-Sinai and are expected to stay more than 2 days, you might be able to participate.
This study tests a virtual reality program that uses calming sights and sounds to help prevent delirium (a state of confusion) in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help keep your mind clear during your stay.
This study tests an AI-powered nursing tool that helps ICU staff prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in patients. If you are at high risk for delirium, the tool may help keep you more comfortable and reduce the chance of confusion during your ICU stay.
