Zap the ear, calm the mind? new trial tests simple device to prevent Post-Surgery confusion
NCT ID NCT07476742
Summary
This study is testing if a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation on the ear during heart surgery can help prevent post-surgery confusion (delirium) and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. About 270 patients scheduled for elective heart surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the real stimulation or a sham (fake) treatment. Researchers will then track the patients' mental state, mood, pain, and recovery quality for a week after surgery to see if the stimulation makes a difference.
