NCT ID NCT07576517

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

Summary

This study tests two approaches—a combination of medicines (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) and a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS)—to prevent confusion and memory problems after surgery in older adults. About 1,160 patients aged 65-90 with mild cognitive issues will be enrolled. The goal is to see if these methods can protect brain function during recovery.
