Exergaming for dementia: a fun exercise trial
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether playing interactive video games that combine exercise and thinking challenges (called 'exergaming') can help people with dementia. It aims to see if this fun way to move and think can improve memory, daily function, and quality of life.
