Sleep Problems Before Heart Surgery: Study on Recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This research examines how sleep issues before heart surgery may affect how well patients recover afterward. Researchers will study blood markers and chemical changes to better understand this connection and potentially improve surgical outcomes.

This study tests whether improving sleep before heart surgery can help prevent confusion (delirium) after surgery. Participants will get a sleep intervention (possibly including melatonin) before their operation, and the trial will monitor their recovery.
This study looks at whether children who have trouble sleeping before heart surgery are more likely to be confused or disoriented after the surgery. It may help doctors find ways to reduce these risks.
This study tests whether a combination of sleep therapy, brain games, and light exercise before heart surgery can help prevent confusion or disorientation (delirium) after the operation. Participants will be asked to use a tablet and fitness tracker daily for about an hour before their surgery.
This trial tests a program that combines gentle early activity and sleep-friendly routines after heart bypass surgery. It aims to reduce the risk of delirium—sudden confusion that can happen after surgery.
