Study on preventing confusion after hip replacement surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how a natural substance in the body might help prevent confusion or memory problems after hip replacement surgery in older adults. It aims to find ways to keep the brain healthy during and after surgery.

This study looks at whether older adults who get a hip replacement may experience confusion after surgery. It aims to find factors that might help prevent or reduce this confusion.
This study looks at different ways to give anesthesia during hip surgery to help older patients think and remember better afterward. It may help prevent confusion or memory problems that sometimes happen after surgery.
This study tests two medicines (ketamine and dexmedetomidine) used during joint replacement surgery to see if they can prevent confusion (called delirium) that sometimes happens after surgery. Both medicines are commonly used in anesthesia, and the goal is to keep you mentally clear as you recover.
This study tests whether a thinking and memory exercise program can help prevent confusion or disorientation after surgery (called postoperative delirium). It is for older adults having certain types of surgery under general anesthesia.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test score can predict confusion after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It aims to help doctors identify who might need extra care after surgery.
This trial tests if giving either oral melatonin or lidocaine during surgery can reduce the chance of confusion (delirium) in older adults after total hip replacement. It compares these two approaches to standard care.
