Summary

This trial tests whether watching short family videos or virtual reality nature scenes can reduce anxiety, agitation, and pain in adults staying in intensive care. Researchers will randomly assign 72 participants to one of three groups: family videos, family videos plus VR nature videos, or standard care. They will measure anxiety, agitation, pain, and vital signs before and after the sessions on the second and third days in the ICU.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Family videos and virtual reality-based nature videos
What this could lead to
If effective, these simple, non-drug interventions could offer a safe way to reduce anxiety, agitation, and pain in intensive care patients without relying on sedatives.
What could go wrong
This is a small trial with 72 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The effects may be modest, and some patients might not tolerate the VR headset or find the videos helpful.
