Virtual reality training to improve inhibitory control in older adults with cognitive disorders

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the acceptability of an immersive virtual reality application designed to enhance inhibitory control in older adults diagnosed with neurocognitive disorders. Participants will engage with either a VR headset or a non-immersive tablet version of the application over four weeks, attending sessions twice a week. Throughout the intervention, they will complete questionnaires to assess the acceptability of the training. The goal is to determine how well these innovative tools can support cognitive rehabilitation in this population.
