Magnetic pulses to the brain may stop Post-Surgery delirium in seniors
NCT ID NCT07480044
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can prevent postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing urological surgery. Researchers will apply TMS to the left frontal lobe during anesthesia and monitor patients for confusion over the next week. The trial involves 220 adults aged 60 and older, aiming to see if this approach reduces delirium and speeds recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
transcranial magnetic stimulation device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to prevent postoperative delirium in older adults, reducing confusion and hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase study with only 220 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The procedure is experimental and its effectiveness is unproven.
