Virtual reality navigation test for early Alzheimer's detection
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a virtual reality navigation task to detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease. It compares people with mild cognitive problems, mild Alzheimer's, and healthy older adults to see if this test can spot the disease earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are either a healthy older adult, or have mild cognitive issues or mild Alzheimer's disease.
- You cannot have severe depression, anxiety, or other major psychiatric or medical conditions.
- You cannot have epilepsy or diabetes (for healthy controls).
- You must not have vision or mobility problems that could interfere with a virtual reality test.
- You should not have moderate to severe white matter lesions on an MRI scan.

This study uses virtual reality and eye-tracking (pupillometry) to measure thinking and memory problems in people with Alzheimer's, mild cognitive impairment, or depression. It aims to find better ways to detect and track cognitive changes using a simple, non-invasive procedure.
This study tests whether a virtual reality training program can help people with Alzheimer's disease. If you join, you will use a VR headset to do fun activities or exercises designed to improve thinking and memory.
This study tests a virtual reality program to help improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It is for adults aged 65 and over who have noticed changes in their cognition but do not have dementia.
This trial tests a virtual reality app you can use at home to help with early memory or thinking problems. It may be an option if you have mild cognitive impairment or notice your thinking is slowing down.
This study tests whether a virtual reality program that combines thinking exercises and movement can help people with early memory problems or cognitive concerns. Researchers want to see if it's easy to use, helpful, and something people would actually want to do.
This study tests whether a virtual reality sailing program called 'VSail 3D' can help improve thinking and memory in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. It looks at whether the program is easy and safe to use.
