NCT ID NCT07677943
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether watching an augmented reality (AR) educational video on a tablet can lower anxiety in people about to undergo cardiac catheterization, a common heart procedure. Participants in the experimental group view the AR video in addition to receiving standard paper-based education, while the control group receives only the standard materials. Anxiety is measured using questionnaires and physical signs like heart rate and blood pressure at several time points before and after the procedure.
