Can a simple syrup ease care for dementia patients who resist?

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient hospitalized (for a minimum estimated duration of 21 days) in a geriatric department in Medical Care and Rehabilitation, Cognitive-Behavioral Unit, or housed in a Reinforced Housing Unit, in a Long-Term Care Unit, or in a Psycho-Geriatric Unit. * Moderate to severe cognitive impairment, defined by a MMSE (Mini Mental State Examination) score \<15. If not feasible at inclusion, MMSE score \<15 less than 1 year old. * Patient opposed to care, presenting at least two episodes of opposition to care (meals excluded) for which other non-medication alternatives have failed. These refusals of care are defined by a \"resistance to care\" score ≥3 on the Pittsburgh scale, over the last week. In practice, the resistance to care of patients is noted in the medical record following a weekly multidisciplinary decision. The targeted cares: Essential nursing care (indispensable, mandatory, and prescribed) Bathing and changing made essential by obvious lack of hygiene after evaluation Bedtime installation (e.g., with the SECURIDRAP® device) technical care: blood tests, wound care, dressing changes, insertion of urinary or nasogastric tubes; administration of medication by parenteral route * Person affiliated with social security or beneficiary of such a scheme * Informed, written, and signed consent by the patient or their legal representative (for adults under legal protection and unable to express their consent) Exclusion Criteria: * Patient who has received midazolam treatment in the week before inclusion * Patient with contraindications to midazolam: severe Myasthenia Severe respiratory failure requiring continuous oxygen therapy Severe liver failure: PT \<50% Severe sleep apnea syndrome not treated with a device Severe renal failure: Cockcroft \<20mL/min Severe heart failure in a state of decompensation History of alcoholism or drug addiction * Known hypersensitivity to the active substance, benzodiazepines, or any of the excipients * Patient being treated concurrently with: CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitors CYP3A4 enzyme inducers * Weight \<50 kg and \>100 kg * Gastrointestinal pathology that may limit or prevent the absorption of midazolam * Identification of anxiety, defined by item E of the NPI (neuropsychiatric inventory) by an evaluation \>2 in frequency and severity according to HAS recommendations. * Identification of pain, defined by the Algoplus scale by an evaluation ≥2 * Identification of ideational disorders, defined by item E of the Cornell scale: E\>0 * Subject in the exclusion period of another clinical trial * Subject deprived of liberty by an administrative or judicial decision.
