Clinical Trial: 40 Hz Gamma Auditory Stimulation for Delirium Prevention in Critically Ill ICU Patients

U.S., Oct. 16 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07875374) titled '40 Hz Gamma Auditory Stimulation for Delirium Prevention in Critically Ill ICU Patients' on Sept. 17.

Brief Summary: Delirium is a common acute disturbance of attention and cognition among critically ill patients and is associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation, longer hospital stays, and increased mortality. This multicenter, quadruple-masked, randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether 40 Hz gamma auditory stimulation can help prevent delirium in mechanically ventilated adult ICU patients.
