Summary
This study tests whether using social virtual reality (VR) during dialysis sessions can reduce loneliness and other symptoms in people with end-stage kidney disease. Sixty participants will use VR glasses for 30-45 minutes, three times a week, for four weeks. Researchers will compare social VR (connecting with others) to individual VR to see which works better.
