First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study looked at whether using a condom catheter instead of a standard indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) lowers the chance of delirium in men aged 70+ who had a stroke. Delirium is a sudden confused state that can happen after a stroke. The trial planned to compare two groups, but it was stopped early, so the results are limited.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
condom catheter
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple change in hospital practice to lower delirium rates in older male stroke patients.
What could go wrong
The study was terminated early with only 50 participants, so results may be inconclusive. It only included men over 70, so findings may not apply to others.
