Virtual reality thinking training for Parkinson's
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a virtual reality cognitive training program can help improve thinking skills in people with mild Parkinson's disease who also have mild cognitive impairment. If you join, you would use a VR headset to do memory and attention exercises, and researchers will check if your thinking abilities get better over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a program that combines mindfulness with dual-task training (doing two things at once, like walking while talking) for people with Parkinson's disease who have mild memory or thinking issues. The goal is to see if this training can improve both movement and thinking.
This study tests whether doing cognitive tasks (like puzzles) while moving can improve thinking and walking in people with Parkinson's and mild cognitive impairment. The therapy is done from home through video calls.
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.
