Sights and sounds may stop ICU brain fog
NCT ID NCT05950958
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using audio and visual tools—like familiar sounds, pictures, and better sleep conditions—can prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in intensive care patients. About 196 adults over 50 who are expected to stay in the ICU for more than a day will take part. The goal is to see if these simple, non-drug methods help keep patients alert and reduce complications.
