Overview

There are many still unknown about delirium. Studies are being conducted to understand pathophysiology, more effective ways of prevention, utilization of EEG and CT/MRI scan etc.

Future or Investigational Therapies

Currently many studies are being conducted such as;

Prevention of Delirium


Studies to Improve Diagnosis and Prevention of Delirium

  • Transcranial doppler [4]

Studies to Understand Pathophysiology of Delirium
