Summary
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) can reduce severe belly pain and improve quality of life in people with digestive tract cancers. 360 participants will be split into three groups: one using a skills-based VR program, one using distracting VR videos, and a control group using a VR headset with simple 2-D content. The goal is to see if VR can be a helpful, drug-free way to manage cancer pain.
