Virtual reality nature scenes tested as a calming tool before heart angiography
NCT ID NCT06458647
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether watching virtual reality videos of mountains, beaches, and waterfalls before coronary angiography can lower anxiety, boost comfort, and improve patient satisfaction. Researchers will compare first-time angiography patients who use VR goggles to those who do not, measuring anxiety levels, comfort scores, and vital signs. The goal is to see if a simple, non-drug distraction can make the procedure less stressful.
