Family visits and delirium risk after surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether family visits after surgery can reduce the risk of confusion (delirium) in older adults. It helps us understand how social support affects recovery.

This trial looks at how to better care for older adults (65+) who are having surgery. It aims to improve their experience and recovery during the time leading up to, during, and after their procedure.
This study looks at older patients (65 and older) who have had surgery and anesthesia. It aims to find who is at risk for confusion (delirium) and memory problems afterward. The goal is to help doctors prevent these issues.
This study tests a program to help prevent confusion (delirium) in older adults after major surgery. If you are 65 or older and having surgery in certain departments, you may be able to join.
This study looks at whether feeling depressed before a major surgery is linked to a higher chance of confusion or delirium after the surgery in people aged 65 and older. It is a retrospective study, meaning it reviews past data to understand this connection.
This study looks at factors that may increase the risk of developing confusion or delirium after heart surgery. If you have had heart surgery before, researchers want to see if they can predict who might become confused afterward, which could help prevent it in the future.
This study looks at interventions to help with “postoperative delirium,” a sudden confusion that can happen after surgery, and uses brain measures like EEG and optional MRI. It may help doctors identify who is at risk and learn what approaches are most helpful after surgery.
