Virtual reality for behavior challenges after brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial uses virtual reality with extra sensory stimulation (like sounds and visuals) to help people with brain injuries manage emotional and behavioral challenges. It's designed for residents of care facilities, and the goal is to see if it can improve mood and reduce difficult behaviors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be over 18 and have a brain injury or condition (stroke, head trauma, tumor, or lack of oxygen) lasting more than 3 years.
- You must have been living in a nursing home or similar care facility for at least 6 months.
- You need to have emotional or behavioral symptoms (like agitation or depression) that have lasted at least 3 months.
- You must be able to understand simple instructions and answer questions using a rating scale.
- You cannot have certain conditions that make virtual reality unsafe, like uncontrolled seizures or recent seizure in the past year.
- Your mental health medications must be stable (no changes in the last 3 months).

This trial tests if virtual reality exercises can help children aged 8-12 with mild or moderate traumatic brain injury improve their attention and thinking skills. It is designed for children whose challenges were confirmed by a psychologist and who speak Finnish.
This study tests whether personalized virtual reality (VR) environments can help reduce agitation and other challenging behaviors in people with cognitive impairment. It is a feasibility study to see if this approach is practical and helpful.
This trial tests if using virtual reality can help older adults who have trouble moving and adapting to their surroundings (psychomotor disadaptation syndrome). It aims to improve their care while in a hospital geriatric unit.
This trial tests a virtual reality (VR) program that uses brain-machine interface (BMI) technology to help people with spinal cord injuries regain movement. The program may help your brain and body work together better, potentially improving your recovery.
This study tests a new rehabilitation approach that combines virtual reality (a computer-simulated environment) with brain-computer interface technology (which reads your brain signals) to help people with functional neurological disorder. The goal is to see if this training can improve movement and daily functioning.
