Virtual reality brain training for older adults with mild memory problems
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses virtual reality (VR) – a computer-made 3D world you see through a headset – to help older adults with mild memory or thinking problems. It aims to see if VR-based mental exercises can improve memory and thinking skills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses a virtual reality driving task to measure thinking skills in healthy older adults and people with mild memory problems. It may help find early signs of cognitive decline.
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.
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 trial tests whether using virtual reality (VR) can help older adults recover their thinking and memory after a serious illness and confusion in the ICU. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, spent time on a breathing machine, and had delirium in the ICU.
This study tests whether a special memory training program using virtual reality can improve thinking skills in people with mild cognitive impairment. It may help slow memory loss and keep your mind sharper.
This study tests whether using a full-immersive virtual reality program can help improve thinking and memory skills in people with mild or moderate dementia. It aims to see if this type of training is both possible and helpful.
