Virtual Reality Adventure Training Exergaming for Women Veterans
This study is exploring a program called V-RATE, which uses virtual reality (VR) on a special treadmill to help women veterans. The goal is to see if this 8-week program, with 6 sessions total, can improve physical activity, reduce sedentary behavior (sitting too much), and help with mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We're looking for women veterans between 18 and 45 years old who can walk on their own and have normal vision. The main way we'll know if the study is successful is by tracking changes in depression levels over 6-8 weeks and at a one-month follow-up. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 40 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It's a randomized controlled trial, comparing the V-RATE program to a control group, and plans to enroll 40 participants.
- What's involved
- You would participate in 6 sessions of the V-RATE intervention over 6-8 weeks, attending 1-2 days per week for 30 minutes per session. There will also be follow-up assessments at 6-8 weeks and at 12 weeks (one month after the intervention ends).
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for one month after the intervention ends, with a final assessment at Week 12.
