Reducing delirium risk in ICU with a mind-body approach
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a program that combines mental, social, and physical care to lower the risk of delirium (sudden confusion) in intensive care. It is for people who will be in the ICU for at least 15 days after certain brain conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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 computer-aided tool to help nurses prevent delirium—a type of confusion that sometimes develops in ICU patients. The tool analyzes patient data to predict who is at high risk and suggests preventive care strategies.
This trial tests whether listening to music can help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in older patients in the intensive care unit. If it works, it could offer a simple, drug-free way to protect your thinking during a hospital stay.
