Predicting confusion in intensive care patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way to predict if patients in the ICU will develop confusion and disorientation (called delirium). By participating, you help doctors spot early signs and possibly prevent delirium, which can be distressing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Your doctor expects you to stay in the intensive care unit for at least a day (24 hours).
- You cannot have severe facial injuries or deformities that would hide your facial expressions.
- You must not have a history of emotional problems like anxiety or depression.

This study tests a computerized tool that automatically measures how severe delirium (sudden confusion) is for ICU patients. Researchers want to see if it can help monitor and manage delirium better without adding extra work for nurses.
This trial uses a camera system to see if it can detect delirium (a sudden confused state) in ICU patients with brain or nerve conditions. By watching your face, the technology aims to help doctors recognize and treat delirium earlier.
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 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 virtual reality (VR) activities can reduce delirium—new, sudden confusion—in people staying in the ICU. It may help patients feel clearer and more oriented during a longer ICU stay.
This study tests a new way to check for delirium (sudden confusion) in patients staying in the intensive care unit (ICU). It also looks at how family members can help spot these changes, so the care team can help sooner.
