Delirium is associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation, increased complications, higher in-hospital mortality, greater psychological burden on family members, and elevated clinical pressure on healthcare staff. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines recommend prioritizing non-pharmacological interventions for delirium prevention, among which music intervention has emerged as one of the most promising strategies due to its low risk, low cost, and feasibility in the ICU setting. Although several international studies have supported its potential benefits, evidence remains inconclusive. Mindfulness-based approaches represent another non-pharmacological strategy that intentionally directs attention to present-moment bodily sensations; mindful breathing exercises are particularly suitable for ICU patients, as they only require patients to adopt a comfortable position in bed and focus on each inhalation and exhalation under guidance, quickly restoring awareness to present bodily experience. Incorporating mindful breathing before and after music listening may therefore facilitate emotional regulation and present-moment awareness, enhancing patient engagement and attentional focus during the intervention. Existing delirium prevention studies in Taiwan have predominantly employed multicomponent care bundles, leaving a gap in empirical evidence regarding music as a standalone intervention. Moreover, scholars have highlighted that musical preference and cultural background influence patients' psychological responses to music, underscoring the importance of cultural appropriateness. In response to this gap, the present study proposes a music intervention combining classical music and Taiwan-localized music with mindful breathing exercises, aiming to examine the effects on ICU delirium incidence and severity, compare the effectiveness of classical versus Taiwan-localized music, and explore the potential benefits on patient anxiety and pain, with the hope of providing a culturally informed, evidence-based music repertoire to guide clinical practice in Taiwan.",[62],"Delirium Confusional State","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-05-31",{"date":40,"type":41},{"date":38,"type":21},{"date":68,"type":21},"2027-04-09",{"name":47,"class":48},{"id":71,"slug":72,"hasResults":11,"nctId":73,"briefTitle":74,"officialTitle":75,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":76,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":77,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":78,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":80,"briefSummary":81,"conditions":82,"keywords":84,"overallStatus":37,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":89,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":90,"startDateStruct":92,"completionDateStruct":94,"leadSponsor":96,"locationsCount":49},"100567297","middle-aged-and-older-adults-with-hypertension-in-rural-communities-100567297","NCT06666361","Middle-aged and Older Adults with Hypertension in Rural Communities","Health Literacy and Health Promotion Behaviors Among Middle-aged and Older Adults with Hypertension in Rural Communities: a Mixed Methods Study","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.

Furthermore, in a meta-analysis reviewing 12 case-control studies also indicated an increase of 48% risks in patients with ALDH2 deficiency. Notably, the genetic deficiency is most prevalent in Asians. In Taiwan one of every two individuals may be the victim and the high prevalence is counted as the top of the world.
