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.
