First seen May 12, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) headsets can help doctors perform ultrasound-guided procedures, such as numbing nerves or placing lines, more accurately and comfortably. About 100 adults having these procedures will take part. The goal is to see if the technology improves visualization and outcomes, not to treat a disease.
