Summary

This study tests whether using interactive virtual reality (VR) can help reduce pain, anxiety, and fatigue in 20 hospitalized palliative care patients. Unlike passive VR videos, patients can interact with a calming virtual environment by grabbing objects, which may improve their sense of control. The main goal is to see if patients can use the VR program daily for two weeks with good tolerance and no serious side effects.
