Universita di Verona·interventional·Posted Jun 4, 2015·Updated Oct 12, 2018

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Ecological Environmental therapy for Alzheimer Disease and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 163 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most frequent form of dementia, causing high level of disability with elevated social costs. Alternative solutions to the standard pharmacological therapies have been studied in order to reduce the use of medications that frequently generates side effects and worsen patients' quality of life. A recent alternative treatment for AD is the Environmental Ecological Therapy (EET) that, with the use of therapeutic gardens, seems to reduce behavioral disorders (BD). However, the effectiveness of this approach is still mater of debate. Therefore, the aim of this trial will be to analyze the effects of EET, in people with severe AD.
