First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) guided imagery can reduce pain in people with stage III or IV breast cancer. Ninety participants will be split into three groups: one using immersive VR (headset), one using non-immersive VR (computer screen), and a control group receiving standard care. Pain levels will be measured before and after a single 45-minute session to see if VR provides extra relief.
