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 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 uses a computer-based platform to test memory and thinking in healthy adults and in people with mild memory concerns (called aMCI). The goal is to better understand how memory changes with age and to spot early signs of Alzheimer's disease.
This trial tests whether a virtual reality nature experience can help improve mood in people with early-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. Participants will use a VR headset and a few apps at home, with a caregiver present, over several sessions.
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) brain games can help older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a slight decline in memory and thinking that is not yet dementia. If you join, you may do fun VR exercises that could help keep your mind sharp.
