Scientists use virtual reality and brain scans to map the feeling of breathlessness

NCT ID NCT07319039

Summary

This study aims to see if it's possible to use brain scans to understand how people with serious illnesses like cancer, COPD, or heart failure experience chronic breathlessness. Researchers will use functional MRI scans and immersive virtual reality with 16 participants to see if different 'patterns' of breathlessness exist. The main goal is to check if this type of study is practical and acceptable for patients, not to test a new treatment.
