Citicoline to protect memory after hip fracture and delirium
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supplement called citicoline can help prevent memory and thinking problems in older adults who had hip surgery and experienced delirium (confusion). It may help keep your brain function stable after a stressful hospital stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether combining gentle cycling while lying down with tablet-based memory exercises can improve recovery after ICU delirium. It may help people regain thinking and comfort after a hospital stay.
This study tests a combination of activities (like cognitive training and exercise) to help older adults recover thinking and memory after a serious illness in the ICU. It may help you regain sharpness and independence after leaving the intensive care unit.
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.
This trial tests whether a natural plant compound can help support memory and thinking in people at higher risk for Alzheimer's disease. You may qualify if you are over 50, overweight, eat a typical Western diet, and have a family history of Alzheimer's.
This study looks at a redesigned surgical care plan to better support older adults who may have memory or thinking changes after major planned surgery. If you qualify, you would be assessed before surgery and followed after to see whether this approach helps.
This study tests if a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can reduce postoperative delirium (sudden confusion) in older adults recovering from hip fracture surgery. It aims to see if tDCS is a safe, drug-free way to protect brain function.
