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;
Studies to Improve Diagnosis and Prevention of Delirium
Studies to Understand Pathophysiology of Delirium
