NCT ID NCT06662578

Summary

This small pilot study explored whether adding horse interaction to standard memory workshops could help people with mild to moderate dementia. Researchers compared three groups: one doing memory activities with horses, one doing traditional memory workshops, and one with no special activities. The goal was to see if the horse-assisted approach better improved participants' thinking skills, mood, and overall quality of life.
