Mental workouts may shield the brain from Surgery's side effects
NCT ID NCT04493996
Summary
This study is testing if doing brain-training exercises at home before heart surgery can help prevent common post-surgery problems like confusion (delirium) and memory decline. It will involve 100 patients scheduled for elective heart surgery. One group will do daily paper-and-pencil brain exercises for 2-3 weeks before their operation, while the other group will not, to see if the training makes a difference.
