VR offers immersive experiences that can enhance mental health benefits in geriatric patients. However, accessibility to VR music-based interventions for geriatric outpatients remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the acceptability and effects of a music-based VR intervention on emotion, wellbeing and mood in geriatric outpatients living in Montreal (Quebec, Canada).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A single-center randomized controlled trial (RCT) with two parallel arms (i.e., control <jats:italic>versus<\/jats:italic> intervention) was conducted at the Montreal Geriatric University Institute (Quebec, Canada). A total of 41 outpatients from the geriatric and memory clinics were recruited and randomly assigned in the control group (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 20; music listening <jats:italic>via<\/jats:italic> headphones) and in the intervention group (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 21; VR-based music experience). The primary outcome was the acceptability of the intervention assessed using three complementary criteria: adoption defined as a retention rate \u226580%, satisfaction defined as willingness to reuse the intervention and perceived mental health benefits, and tolerance using the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire [SSQ] score (high tolerance defined by a score \u22649). Secondary outcomes were the effect on emotional state assessed with the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), on wellbeing assessed with the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS) and on mood states assessed with the Visual Analog Mood Scale (VAMS).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>High retention (95.2%), satisfaction (85.0%) and tolerance (95%) rates were observed in the intervention group. The PANAS positive score significantly improved in the VR group (<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic> = 15.9, 95% CI [6.8, 25.1], <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.001). No significant intergroup differences were observed for wellbeing and mood.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Interpretation<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study demonstrates that a music-based VR intervention was highly acceptable and led to a significant improvement in positive emotional state among older adults in geriatric outpatients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Clinical trial registration<\/jats:title><jats:p>NCT06296199; <jats:ext-link>https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/study\/NCT06296199<\/jats:ext-link>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/frvir.2025.1608416","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,29]],"date-time":"2025-08-29T05:44:06Z","timestamp":1756446246000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Acceptability and effects on mental health of a music-based virtual reality intervention in geriatric outpatients: results from a pilot randomized controlled trial"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Kevin","family":"Galery","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katia","family":"Djerroud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julia","family":"Chabot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harmehr","family":"Sekhon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Tannou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Auriane","family":"Gros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olivier","family":"Beauchet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"24","DOI":"10.3390\/mti8030024","article-title":"Design and evaluation of a memory-recalling virtual reality application for elderly users","volume":"8","author":"Anastasiadou","year":"2024","journal-title":"Multimodal Technol.
