VR brain training for older adults with mild memory and health issues
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial uses virtual reality exercises to see if they can help improve brain function in older adults who have some memory concerns and physical frailty. Researchers want to know if a fun, interactive VR program can strengthen connections in the brain and improve daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years of age or older.
- You have some physical frailty (like feeling weak or tired easily) and notice your memory or thinking is not as sharp as it used to be.
- You do not have a diagnosis of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or other serious brain conditions like a past head injury or epilepsy.
- You are not taking medications or substances that affect your thinking or memory.
- You are able to safely participate in light physical activity (like standing or walking) and do not have severe joint pain, heart problems, or other conditions that would prevent this.
- You do not have severe motion sickness or inner ear problems that make you dizzy.

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 combines gentle exercise with virtual reality (a fun, computer-generated experience) to help older adults stay active, improve balance, and keep their minds sharp. If you're 65 or older and generally independent, this could be a good way to stay healthy.
This trial tests whether using 360-degree virtual reality videos during aerobic exercise can improve thinking and memory in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. It's a chance to try a new approach that combines exercise and immersive technology.
This study combines cognitive training with motor exercises to see if it helps improve balance and reduce falls in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. You will do exercises and have MRI scans to check how your brain and body work together.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (wearing a headset with special programs) combined with occupational therapy can help older adults improve balance, reduce falls, and become less frail. If you join, you would do these exercises during your rehabilitation sessions at the residence.
