Virtual Reality Cognitive Stimulation for Alzheimer's

Cognitive Stimulation and Memory Enhancement Through Virtual Reality in Patients With Alzheimer's Disease: A Behavioral, Biometric, and Neurocognitive Assessment

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study aims to evaluate whether immersive virtual reality (VR) can improve cognitive function and memory in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Twenty participants in Burgos, Spain, will engage in VR sessions that recreate scenes from 1960s Burgos, representing environments familiar from the participants' youth. The effects of these VR-based cognitive stimulation sessions will be assessed through pre- and post-intervention evaluations, including behavioral observations, EEG monitoring of brain activity, and standardized neurocognitive tests (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Clock-Drawing Test, and Verbal Fluency Test).
