Rhythm-based therapy for older adults' memory and movement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a new therapy that combines rhythm and movement to help improve thinking and physical function in healthy older adults and those with mild cognitive impairment. It compares their results with younger adults to see if the therapy works across different ages.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial uses virtual reality (VR) to combine physical activity (biking) with memory-boosting therapy. It aims to see if this fun, active approach improves well-being for older adults.
This trial uses virtual reality exercises to see if they can help improve brain function in older adults who have some memory concerns and physical frailty. Researchers want to know if a fun, interactive VR program can strengthen connections in the brain and improve daily life.
This trial tests whether using 360-degree virtual reality videos during aerobic exercise can improve thinking and memory in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. It's a chance to try a new approach that combines exercise and immersive technology.
This study looks at whether light-to-moderate physical activity (like walking or stretching) can help memory and thinking in middle-aged and older adults. People with normal thinking, mild memory problems, or Parkinson's disease may join if they aren't already very active.
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) brain-training games can help improve memory and thinking in older adults who have mild memory problems but not dementia. You would use a VR headset to do fun exercises that challenge your brain.
This study compares three types of exercises (using both hands, finger movements, and virtual reality) in people with mild memory loss to see which helps thinking and memory best.
