| Study objectives | What effect does Snoezelen have on the behaviour and physiological responses of people with dementia who exhibit agitated behaviour, and how do these effects compare to those resulting from a more traditional form of therapy, such as Reminiscence? As of 28/07/09 the target number of participants was updated from "not provided at time of registration" to 20 as detailed in 2004 results. |

| Intervention | Comparative group study. Subjects randomly allocated to one of two groups. Each group will receive an initial introductory Snoezelen session after initial baseline assessments and observations. Group 1 will then receive three Snoezelen sessions over 2 weeks, 1 week without intervention and then three reminiscence sessions over a further 2 weeks. Group 2 will follow the same pattern, but will have reminiscence therapy first. |
