Dance workshops for seniors with dementia behavior changes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether structured dance sessions can help improve behavioral and emotional symptoms in people with dementia living in care facilities. It may help by offering a gentle, guided activity while keeping medications stable.
