NCT ID NCT07396532
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether personalized audio-recorded messages, played three times daily for the first three days after hip fracture surgery, can help prevent delirium in patients aged 60 and older. The study will enroll 30 participants and focus on whether the intervention is feasible to deliver in a busy hospital ward. Researchers will also look for early signs that the messages reduce confusion.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- personalized audio-recorded reorientation messages
- What this could lead to
- If this works, it could offer a simple, low-cost way to reduce confusion after hip surgery in older adults.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The main goal is to see if the approach is feasible, not yet to prove it prevents delirium.
