Official title A Multi-Modal Combination Intervention to Promote Cognitive Function in Older Intensive Care Unit Survivors
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06411561
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This study is testing whether combining sleep improvement and brain training can protect memory in older ICU survivors. It also looks at whether timing these activities with the body’s natural rhythm helps more.
- Who it's for
- You may be able to join if you are 60 or older, survived an ICU stay, and have some trouble remembering or sleeping.
- What's involved
- You would use a sleep aid device at home and do short brain‑training exercises on a tablet. You will also keep a sleep diary and answer simple questions about your day. The research team will check in with you by phone or online at set times.
- Time commitment
- The program lasts about 12 weeks. You will have a few short check‑ins each week and a final follow‑up after the program ends.
Which group you join is decided by chance.
