Cognitive rehabilitation using virtual reality in subjective cognitive decline and mild cognitive impairment: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) are heterogeneous conditions that may indicate early dementia. Virtual Reality (VR) is emerging as a promising non-pharmacological tool for cognitive training. However, its effectiveness in these populations remains unclear. This systematic review examines the impact of VR-based cognitive interventions in individuals with SCD and MCI.

Methods

A systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Studies published between 2019 and 2025 investigating VR-based cognitive interventions in individuals diagnosed with SCD or MCI were identified through searches in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials (RCTs), experimental st
