Delirium clinical trials at UCSF
2 research studies open to eligible people
Delirium is a change in thinking and behavior that can happen temporarily. UCSF is doing clinical trials about this. One study is finding out how often delirium happens in children getting stem cell transplants. Another study is using remote cognitive testing to help surgical patients who may need cognitive care.
Delirium in Children Undergoing Stem Cell Transplantation
open to eligible people ages up to 21 years
Children undergoing stem cell transplants are at risk for delirium, a temporary change in thinking and behavior. This study will define delirium rates, risk factors, and outcomes. Our eventual goal is to reduce delirium in this population.

Remote Cognitive Assessment for Surgical Patients
open to eligible people ages 65-99
This is a pilot study to evaluate the use of remote cognitive testing to identify patients who may have cognitive vulnerability and may benefit from cognitive care pathways. Participants in this study are asked to complete a smartphone battery of thinking, memory, speech, and motor function tests on their smartphone.
