New study tracks brain fog in kids after stem cell transplants

NCT ID NCT04937400

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study follows over 1,000 children aged 0-21 who are getting stem cell transplants. Researchers will check for delirium twice a day during their hospital stay. The goal is to learn how often delirium happens, what raises the risk, and how it affects recovery. This information could help doctors find better ways to prevent or manage delirium in the future.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could help doctors better predict and prevent delirium in children after stem cell transplants, improving recovery.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test any drug or intervention, so it may not lead to immediate changes in care.
