Summary

This trial tests whether an educational video shown through virtual reality (VR) glasses and a mobile app can help breastfeeding mothers stop smoking. About 76 mothers with babies aged 0-6 months who smoke will be randomly assigned to either watch the VR and app-based education or receive routine care. Over six months, researchers will track changes in nicotine dependence and smoking urges to see if this high-tech approach supports quitting.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Virtual reality (VR) glasses and a mobile application delivering an educational video on smoking cessation
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a new, accessible tool to help breastfeeding mothers quit smoking, improving health for both mother and baby.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and the effect may be limited. Success depends on mothers' engagement and motivation, and results may not apply to all smokers.
