Summary

This study tested whether using virtual reality (VR) during a colonoscopy can help patients feel less pain and anxiety, and reduce the need for sedative drugs. 84 adults aged 18 to 80 took part. The idea is that VR distracts the brain, making the procedure more comfortable and potentially safer by lowering medication side effects.
