Virtual reality for memory help after ICU confusion
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (VR) can help older adults recover their thinking and memory after a serious illness and confusion in the ICU. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, spent time on a breathing machine, and had delirium in the ICU.

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 if a virtual reality sensory program can help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in intensive care unit patients. It might benefit adults newly admitted to the ICU.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) glasses can help patients recover better after spending time in the intensive care unit. The VR program is designed to help regain strength, movement, and mental function during recovery.
This study tests whether a virtual reality program that combines thinking exercises and movement can help people with early memory problems or cognitive concerns. Researchers want to see if it's easy to use, helpful, and something people would actually want to do.
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 virtual reality program to help improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It is for adults aged 65 and over who have noticed changes in their cognition but do not have dementia.
