What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Performance of the virtual reality application compared to classic cognitive tests batery for the detection of cognitive deficit
Measured: from surgery to 3 months after surgery
Secondary outcomes (6)
Performance of the virtual reality application compared with conventional cognitive tests used to detect visual-spatial attention disorders
Measured: from surgery to 3 months after surgery
Performance of the virtual reality application compared with conventional cognitive tests used to detect facial emotion recognition disorders
Measured: from surgery to 3 months after surgery
Performance of the virtual reality application compared with conventional cognitive tests, used to detect spatial attention disorders or the presence of facial emotion recognition disorders depending respectively on the location or type of facial emotion
Measured: from surgery to 3 months after surgery
Study the reproducibility of the virtual reality application for detecting the presence of cognitive function disorders
Measured: from surgery to 3 months after surgery
Study the correlation between visuo-spatial and facial emotion recognition deficits and possible tractographic changes
Measured: from surgery to 3 months after surgery
Study the association between the presence of cognitive function deficits and the presence of behavioral disorders or health-related quality of life
Measured: from surgery to 3 months after surgery

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing VIRTUAL REALITY application in people with Virtual Reality and Brain Damage, run by University Hospital, Angers at 1 site in France.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Performance of the virtual reality application compared to classic cognitive tests batery for the detection of cognitive deficit (time frame: from surgery to 3 months after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
