First seen Apr 28, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can reduce the time older adults spend confused after heart surgery. About 144 patients aged 50 and older who develop delirium after their operation will receive either real TMS or a sham (fake) treatment for five days. The goal is to see if TMS can shorten the duration of delirium and improve recovery.
