A randomized pilot and feasibility trial of live and recorded music interventions for management of delirium symptoms in acute geriatric patients
Feasibility of recruitment, interventions and assessments was indicated, and greater acceptability, safety and fidelity of the PLM intervention compared with the PRM. Adoption of external assessors is warranted in future trials, to mitigate slow recruitment and low adherence. Wide confidence intervals for most measures and comparisons indicate that the possible effect of the MIs on delirium cannot be excluded. The trial was registered at Clinical Trials, ID: NCT05398211, on 31/05/2022.
