Table 1_Effects of virtual reality-based cognitive training on cognitive function, instrum

19 randomized controlled trials were synthesized to evaluate the effects of virtual reality-based cognitive training on older people with mild cognitive impairment. The review, registered in PROSPERO, analyzed outcomes on cognitive function, instrumental activities of daily living, and depressive symptoms. It was authored by Edgar Vásquez-Carrasco and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Assess the efficacy of VR-based cognitive training on global cognitive function based on Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores
• Evaluate intervention effects on executive function based on Trail Making Test–B results
• Analyze impacts on daily living independence based on instrumental activities of daily living performance
• Investigate the effect on mental health based on Geriatric Depression Scale scores

Strengths

• Follows PRISMA guidelines and is registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024558108), indicating a structured methodology
• Includes 19 studies from a screening of 2,433 records, providing a focused evidence base
• Uses multiple quality assessment tools (Oxford CEBM scale, RoB 2, GRADEpro) for critical evaluation

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The authors note findings should be interpreted with caution due to study heterogeneity and moderate certainty of evidence
