Decreasing Delirium Through Music in Critically Ill Older Adults (DDM)
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
One million adults in the United States receive mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure in the intensive care units (ICUs) annually and up to 80% of them develop delirium during their ICU stay. Presence of delirium predisposes older adults to immediate in-hospital complications including a longer length of ICU and hospital stay, increased risk of in-patient mortality and elevated costs of care. In addition, ICU delirium is associated with long-term post-discharge complications such as development of cognitive impairment and dementia.
Recent research studies exploring pharmacological strategies to manage ICU delirium have not demonstrated efficacy; a limitation also acknowledged in the Society of Critical Care Medicine 2018 Pain, Agitation/Sedation, Delirium, Immobility, and Sleep Disruption guidelines. Music listening is a non-pharmacological intervention that has shown to decrease over-sedation, anxiety and stress in critically ill patients, factors that could predispose to ICU delirium. Our team is now proposing to conduct a large randomized clinical trial called "Decreasing Delirium through Music (DDM) in Critically Ill Older Adults to evaluate the efficacy of a seven-day slow-tempo music intervention on the primary outcome of delirium/coma free days among mechanically-ventilated older adults admitted to the ICU.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Slow Tempo Music
Slow-tempo 60-80 beats per minute relaxing music.
The intervention includes two one-hour music listening sessions, once in the morning and once in the evening for up to seven days, delivered through noise-canceling headphones and iPad.
|
For up to seven days, enrolled subjects will receive one-hour slow tempo music listening sessions twice daily through noise-cancelling headphones.
|
Sham Comparator: Attention Control
One-hour sessions consisting of a silence track twice daily delivered through noise-cancelling headphones for up to 7 days.
|
Subjects will receive a noise cancellation headphone-applied condition identical to the music intervention experimental treatment in twice daily one hour-sessions for up to seven days.
|
What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Days free of delirium and coma
Time Frame: Subjects will be followed up to 28 days post randomization
|
Days free of delirium and coma will be the primary outcome for the trial.
Days free of delirium and coma are the number of days after randomization patient is alive free of delirium and not in coma during the seven-day study intervention phase.
|
Subjects will be followed up to 28 days post randomization
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Delirium Severity
Time Frame: Subjects will be followed up to 28 days post randomization
|
Delirium severity will be assessed twice daily by trained research assistants using the CAM-ICU-7.
CAM-ICU-7 is a seven point scale (0-7), derived from the RASS and the CAM-ICU.
|
Subjects will be followed up to 28 days post randomization
|
Pain intensity
Time Frame: 4 times daily, before and after each intervention for up to 7 days while in the ICU and then twice daily up to 28 days post randomization
|
Pain will be assessed by trained research assistants utilizing the Critical Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT), a valid and reliable instrument in critically ill patients with and without delirium.. Scale range 0-8, higher score indicates worse pain.
|
4 times daily, before and after each intervention for up to 7 days while in the ICU and then twice daily up to 28 days post randomization
|
Anxiety
Time Frame: 4 times daily, before and after each intervention for up to 7 days while in the ICU and then twice daily up to 28 days post randomization
|
Anxiety intensity defined as a heightened state of apprehension, agitation, and arousal, will be measured four times daily before and after assigned intervention using a 100-mm Visual Analog Scale-Anxiety (VAS-A).
Scale range 0-100, higher score indicates worse anxiety.
|
4 times daily, before and after each intervention for up to 7 days while in the ICU and then twice daily up to 28 days post randomization
|
Cognition
Time Frame: 3 months post hospital discharge
|
Cognition will be measured by objective tests of memory, attention, information processing speed and executive cognitive function.
The Auditory Verbal Learning Test [AVLT] will be administered using a phone-based format.
Score ranges, sum of learning trials 0-75, 30-minute delay 0-15, a lower score indicates a worse outcome.
|
3 months post hospital discharge
|
Cognition
Time Frame: 3 months post hospital discharge
|
Cognition will be measured by objective tests of memory, attention, information processing speed and executive cognitive function.
The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale- III Digit Span test will be administered using a phone-based format.
Score range 0-30, a lower score indicates a worse outcome.
|
3 months post hospital discharge
|
Cognition
Time Frame: 3 months post hospital discharge
|
Cognition will be measured by objective tests of memory, attention, information processing speed and executive cognitive function.
The Symbol Digit Modalities Test will be administered using a phone-based format.
Score range 0-110, a lower score indicates a worse outcome.
|
3 months post hospital discharge
|
Cognition
Time Frame: 3 months post hospital discharge
|
Cognition will be measured by objective tests of memory, attention, information processing speed and executive cognitive function.
The Multilingual Aphasia Examination Controlled Oral Word Association test will be administered using a phone-based format.
Score range 0-no max score, a lower score indicates a worse outcome.
|

|
Depression
Time Frame: 3 months post hospital discharge
|
We will use the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) to determine the impact of the music intervention on ICU survivor's mood.
Scale range 0-27, higher score indicates worse depression.
|

|
Anxiety
Time Frame: 3 months post hospital discharge
|
We will use the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) to determine the impact of the music intervention on ICU survivor's anxiety.
