Summary
This study tested whether using a PARO robot (a soft, interactive robot seal) could help prevent pain and distress in elderly people with moderate to severe dementia during daily nursing care. Ten participants living in nursing homes were given the robot before or during care to see if it relaxed them and reduced signs of pain. The goal was to give caregivers a simple, drug-free tool to improve comfort and quality of life.
