NCT ID NCT07527598
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small study tested whether a 7-week web-based occupational therapy group is acceptable and helpful for older adults living at home. 13 participants aged 65+ with changed life situations joined online sessions to support social participation and meaningful daily activities. The goal was to see if the program works and is well-received, not to cure or treat a disease.
