Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) greatly impact quality of life (QoL) for people with dementia, and pharmacological interventions are costly, ineffective or life-threatening. Law-makers support non-pharmacological interventions like multi-sensory environments (MSE) but they have not been widely studied. There is a critical need for investigation of MSE, particularly during assisted bathing, showering, and/or tub bathing, where most BPSD occur.
