Overview

There are many still unknowns 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

Studies to Understand Pathophysiology of Delirium
