Summary

This study tests if watching a virtual reality (VR) video before a brain procedure can reduce anxiety in people with severe hand tremors. About 60 adults who are already scheduled for a focused ultrasound treatment will watch one of two VR videos. Researchers will then compare their anxiety levels using questionnaires to see if the VR experience helps them feel calmer.
