Computer Brain Training for Confusion in Older Adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a computer program to do brain exercises can help older adults recover from delirium—a state of confusion that sometimes happens after hospitalization. The goal is to see if this mental stimulation helps people think more clearly and recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older
- You are admitted to a subacute care center (a facility for recovery after hospital discharge) between February 15 and October 15, 2026
- You can give informed consent, or a family member or legal guardian can give it on your behalf
- You do not have severe vision or hearing problems, or language difficulties that would prevent you from doing the computer exercises
- You are not in end-of-life or palliative care (comfort-focused care near the end of life)

This trial studies whether a computer-based brain training program can help thinking skills in older adults. It is designed for people who are generally healthy and have not received similar training before.
This study compares two types of brain activities: a computer-based cognitive training program and engaging leisure activities like puzzles or games. The goal is to see which approach better helps memory and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive concerns.
This trial tests a nurse-led app to help prevent confusion (delirium) in older patients. If you are at risk, the app may help keep you clearer and safer during your hospital stay.
This study tests a brain training method called neurofeedback to help older patients avoid confusion or memory problems after major surgery. It may help you recover more clearly after your operation.
This study tests a computer-based brain-training program designed to improve memory and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It aims to see if these exercises can help keep the brain healthy and slow down memory decline.
This study tests different amounts of online brain training to see if they help improve memory and thinking in older adults who have mild memory problems. You would participate from home, possibly helping to slow down further decline.
