First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether wearing virtual reality goggles during a noninvasive bladder test can lower anxiety and improve comfort. Sixty adults aged 30-50 who have never had this test before will be randomly assigned to either watch a 360-degree bathroom scene through VR goggles or receive standard care. Researchers will measure changes in anxiety, vital signs, and satisfaction.
