NCT ID NCT07558642

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

Summary

This study tests whether a stellate ganglion block (a nerve injection) can reduce delirium (sudden confusion) and improve sleep-wake cycles in intensive care patients aged 65 and older. Delirium is common in the ICU and linked to worse outcomes. The trial will compare 130 patients who receive the block with those who do not, measuring confusion levels and blood markers of circadian rhythm.
