Abstract

Non-medicinal interventions (NMI) are recommended as a first-line treatment in gerontology in response to a behavioural disorder. The Théra Berce pilot study at the Nice University Hospital aims to determine whether the NMI corresponding to rocking in a comfort chair allows a reduction in disruptive behavioural disorders in people with neurocognitive disorders. Benefits and limitations.
