Virtual reality cognitive remediation tool for individuals with mild cognitive impairment: study protocol for a feasibility randomized clinical trial.

Introduction: With the growing older adult population, the European Union emphasizes the need to promote research in healthy aging trough multidisciplinary and innovative approaches, including the integration of advanced technologies like virtual reality (VR) in cognitive rehabilitation. This reflects the increasing awareness of the importance of addressing challenges related to neurodegenerative diseases in the older adult population. Our study aims to present a protocol that will assess the feasibility and provide a preliminary measure of effectiveness for an intervention using immersive CR technology for cognitive remediation (CR) in individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).

Alexithymia and Bipolar Disorder: Virtual Reality Could Be a Useful Tool for the Treatment and Prevention of These Conditions in People with a Physical Comorbidity.

Alexithymia, a predictor in chronic illnesses, like cardiovascular and bipolar disorder (CD-BD), could be improved with a virtual reality (VR) cognitive remediation program. This secondary analysis of a previous randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluates alexithymia improvement and its factors in an experimental group versus a control group, exploring extensions to individuals with comorbid non-psychiatric chronic conditions. A feasibility cross-over RCT (ClinicalTrials.

Improving Social and Personal Rhythm Dysregulation in Young and Old Adults with Bipolar Disorder: Post-Hoc Analysis of a Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial Using Virtual Reality-Based Intervention.

Rehabilitative interventions employing technology play a crucial role in bipolar disorder (BD) treatment. The study aims to appraise the virtual reality (VR)-based cognitive remediation (CR) and the interpersonal rhythm approaches to treatment outcomes of BD across different age groups. Post-hoc analysis of a 12-week randomizedcontrolled cross-over feasibility trial involving people with mood disorders (BD, DSM-IV) aged 18-75 years old: thirty-nine exposed to the experimental VR-based CR vs 25 waiting list controls.

Cognitive Remediation Virtual Reality Tool a Recovery-Oriented Project for People with Bipolar Disorder: Protocol of a Feasibility Randomized Clinical Trial.

Introduction: Cognitive deficits are considered a fundamental component of bipolar disorder due to the fact that they negatively impact personal/social functioning. Cognitive remediation interventions are effective in the treatment of various psychosocial disorders, including bipolar disorder. The use of Virtual reality as a rehabilitation tool has produced scientific evidence in recent years, especially in cardiovascular, neurological, and musculoskeletal rehabilitation.

A Recovery-Oriented Program for People with Bipolar Disorder through Virtual Reality-Based Cognitive Remediation: Results of a Feasibility Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: Cognitive impairment is a frequent consequence of bipolar disorder (BD) that is difficult to prevent and treat. In addition, the quality of the preliminary evidence on the treatment of BD through Cognitive Remediation (CR) with traditional methods is poor. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a CR intervention with fully immersive Virtual Reality (VR) as an additional treatment for BD and offers preliminary data on its efficacy.
