NCT ID NCT04017299

Summary

This study tested whether different electronic distractions could help reduce common discomforts experienced by awake patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Researchers compared music therapy, two types of virtual reality, and standard devices like TV/radio to see which was most effective at easing symptoms like pain, anxiety, and trouble sleeping. The goal was to find a safe, helpful tool to improve patient comfort during a stressful hospital stay.
