Brief summary
A device combining a virtual reality (VR) headset with hypnotic scenarios may represent an effective tool to reduce anxiety and opposition during hygiene care in patients with neurocognitive disorders presenting with behavioral and psychological symptoms. The primary objective of this project is to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of VR headsets with hypnotic scenarios compared with standard care in patients with ADRD presenting behavioral disturbances during hygiene care.
Interventions
