Cognitive improvement after weight-loss surgery with virtual reality
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a virtual reality exercise program can help improve thinking skills (like memory and attention) after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It may benefit people with severe obesity who are planning to have surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how weight-loss surgery affects your brain, metabolism, and memory. By participating, you can help doctors understand how these changes happen after surgery.
This study tests whether watching virtual forest scenes (a relaxing nature experience) can help patients recover and feel better after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It may help reduce stress and improve your overall well-being during recovery.
This study looks at how weight loss and exercise affect brain health in people having weight-loss surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an exercise program or usual care, and brain scans (MRI) will be used to measure changes over a year.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (VR) exercises after surgery can help older adults with small vessel disease (tiny blood vessel damage in the brain) recover their thinking and memory faster. It may help you think more clearly after your operation.
This study looks at how exercise affects brain activity and helps people keep weight off after they have regained some weight following bariatric surgery. You may join if you had weight loss surgery, lost weight, and then regained more than 10% of that lost weight within the last 1 to 5 years.
