First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether using virtual reality (VR) before a first-time heart catheterization could lower anxiety more than just standard education. 180 adults were split into two groups: one got VR plus education, the other only education. Anxiety was measured with a standard questionnaire. The goal was to see if VR makes the wait less stressful.
