Enhancing Cognitive Functions in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment via Virtual Sail 3D: Protocol for a Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Innovative approaches, such as virtual reality (VR)-based cognitive rehabilitation, are becoming essential to healthy aging.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and generate preliminary evidence regarding the effectiveness of an immersive VR-based cognitive remediation intervention for older individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Methods

A total of 40 individuals aged 65 years and older, of both genders with MCI, will be recruited and randomly assigned to the experimental or control group. The experimental group will participate in a 6-week VR-based cognitive remediation program, while the control group will receive healthy lifestyle education. Feasibility will be assessed through measures, including dropout rates, side effects,
