What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a new 360-degree dual-task training to improve cognitive function in elderly people with subjective memory complaints or mild cognitive impairment. The study aims to develop an interactive and realistic rehabilitation program and test its effectiveness in these two groups. This research explores non-drug approaches to support brain health in early stages of cognitive decline. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: receiving the 360-degree media training or treatment as usual (TAU). The training includes two phases: first, supervised sessions in hospital using a head-mounted display; then, unsupervised sessions at home using a tablet with a non-immersive version of the program. Both memory complaint and mild cognitive impairment groups will be evenly divided between these treatments. During the study, participants will undergo cognitive and motor function tests immediately after completing the training. The hospital sessions are supervised by therapists, while home sessions are done independently. Researchers will measure changes in brain function and physical abilities using a full neuropsychological battery. The total study period includes in-hospital and at-home rehabilitation phases to assess the training's impact on cognitive health.
