Sleep-promotion protocol to prevent delirium in intensive care patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special sleep-promoting protocol (using eye masks, earplugs, and other measures) to help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in intensive care patients. If you or a loved one are in the ICU, this treatment might help reduce confusion and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be staying in an intensive care unit (ICU) and likely to stay for at least 24 hours.
- Your level of consciousness must be within a certain range (not too sedated, not too agitated).
- You must be able to communicate in Turkish when needed for the study.
- You must not have confusion (delirium) at the start, and no dementia, stroke, or severe head injury.
- You must not have severe hearing/vision problems, an ear infection, or a terminal condition.

This study tests whether a special program led by nurses can help reduce stress and improve sleep for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). If you join, you may receive extra support to make your hospital stay calmer and more restful.
This trial tests whether giving melatonin (or a placebo) can help adults in the intensive care unit who have a specific type of confusion called low-activity delirium. It aims to improve recovery by supporting sleep–wake regulation in the ICU.
This study tests whether giving a medicine called dexmedetomidine (which helps people relax and sleep) as part of a sleep-promoting routine can reduce confusion and delirium in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help you sleep better and recover more smoothly.
This trial tests whether controlled bright light in the ICU can improve confusion and the sleep-wake rhythm in adults who develop delirium. If it works, it may help patients become more clear-minded sooner while they recover in intensive care.
This trial tests if giving melatonin (a natural sleep hormone) can help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in older adults who are hospitalized. It may help you if you are 65 or older and admitted to the hospital for general medical care.
This study looks at how sleep disturbances may be connected to delirium (sudden confusion) in people staying in the hospital. It may help researchers find ways to prevent delirium by understanding sleep and early warning signs.
