Family voice recordings tested as delirium therapy in ICU
NCT ID NCT07218484
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether playing recorded messages from family and friends—called VoiceLove therapy—can help manage delirium in surgical ICU patients. Fifteen participants will listen to reorientation and calming messages for 25 minutes, twice a day, for three days. The main goal is to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable, not yet to prove it works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
VoiceLove digital therapy (recorded messages from family and friends)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple, non-drug way to reduce confusion and distress in ICU patients.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (15 people) with no control group, so results may not be generalizable. It only tests feasibility, not effectiveness.
