NCT ID NCT06884735
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether virtual reality exposure therapy can improve balance in older adults with psychomotor disadaptation syndrome, a condition that causes poor balance and fear of falling. Twenty-four participants will be exposed to virtual reality and have their balance measured before, right after, and 24 hours later. The goal is to see if VR can help reduce fall risk and improve daily functioning.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- virtual reality exposure therapy
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new, non-drug way to improve balance and reduce fear of falling in older adults with psychomotor disadaptation syndrome.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply widely. The effect of VR on balance has not been tested in this condition before, and some people may feel dizzy or uncomfortable in virtual reality.
