Summary
This study looks at how well two drugs, haloperidol and lorazepam, can control severe agitation and confusion (delirium) in advanced cancer patients receiving palliative care. About 110 patients whose delirium did not improve with low-dose haloperidol will be given different drug strategies. The goal is to find the best way to calm symptoms and reduce distress for both patients and their caregivers.
