Post-Stroke Enhancement of Delirium Outcomes With Reduction in Neuro-checks

Stopped: Awaiting grant funding

United States538 participantsStarted 2026-11

Plain-language summary

There have been limited studies on delirium in patients hospitalized with acute stroke. There have been no studies on the potential impact of overnight neuro-checks and resulting sleep disruption on delirium or other outcomes. Additional research is needed to determine if overnight checks are necessary or even harmful. We aim to find out if stopping overnight neuro checks may prevent delirium and benefit the patient.
