Does an eye mask improve sleep and reduce confusion after heart surgery?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing an eye mask during recovery after heart bypass surgery improves sleep quality and reduces confusion (delirium). If you are having a planned heart bypass and are comfortable using an eye mask, this simple intervention might help you rest better and think more clearly after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether giving a pain medicine called dezocine during heart surgery can help prevent confusion (delirium) after surgery in older adults. If you are 65 or older and having heart surgery, this could help you recover more clearly.
This study tests whether wearing an eye mask and earplugs in the hospital after heart bypass surgery helps improve sleep and reduce confusion (delirium). If you have had this surgery, the study will see if these simple items can help you rest and recover more clearly.
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 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.
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 study tests whether a medicine called dexmedetomidine, given after heart surgery, can help prevent confusion and thinking problems in older adults during their intensive care stay. If you are 60 or older and having heart surgery with a heart-lung machine, this trial might be for you.
