Vibration therapy for memory, balance, and quality of life in older adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether gentle whole-body vibration (standing on a vibrating platform) can help improve memory, balance, and quality of life in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. If you are 60+ and have mild memory problems, this may be an option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (forgetfulness or trouble thinking that is more than normal aging but not dementia).
- You can stand up on your own or with a little help.
- You do not have severe bone, muscle, or nerve problems that would make it hard to do gentle exercise.
- You do not have an implanted electronic device, like a pacemaker.
