Study questions whether nighttime checks do more harm than good for stroke patients
NCT ID NCT06038136
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether stopping overnight neurological checks in stroke patients can help prevent delirium, a common and serious complication. Researchers will compare patients who continue standard overnight checks with those who have them stopped, measuring rates of delirium and hospital stay length. The goal is to see if reducing sleep disruption improves recovery without increasing risk.
