Clinical experiment designed to assess clinical efficacy targeting N/A in human patients. Primary outcome: overall BPSD, agitated behavior, and depression scores
This single-blinded randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of a caregiver-initiated, multimodal mobile app delivering individualized nonpharmacological interventions (music therapy, exercise, reminiscence therapy) for reducing behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). The intervention was tailored based on each user's preferences and functional abilities. Participants were 36 dyads comprising community-dwelling persons with dementia aged 60+ years and their primary family caregivers, recruited from outpatient clinics, dementia care centers, and home care service centers. The intervention group used the mobile app for 4 weeks while the control group received usual care. Primary outcomes included overall BPSD, agitated behavior, and depression, with secondary outcomes of nighttime sleep efficiency and caregiver competency. Assessments were conducted at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 2-week follow-up.
Single-blinded randomized controlled trial with 36 dyads randomized to intervention (mobile app for 4 weeks) or control (usual care). Multimodal app delivered individualized nonpharmacological interventions including music therapy, exercise, and reminiscence therapy based on user preferences and functional abilities. Assessments at baseline, post-intervention, and 2-week follow-up using validated BPSD measures.
