First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tests whether fluvoxamine, an antidepressant, can reduce the risk of delirium (sudden confusion) in older adults after non-cardiac surgery. About 46 people having elective surgery will take the drug or a placebo. The goal is to see if this approach is practical for a larger trial and if it helps patients recover more smoothly.
