Virtual reality calms nerves before heart tests

NCT ID NCT04242563

Summary

This study tested whether using virtual reality (VR) headsets could help reduce anxiety in patients waiting for a heart catheterization procedure. Researchers enrolled 156 patients and randomly assigned some to use VR while waiting, comparing their anxiety levels to patients receiving standard care. The goal was to see if this relaxing distraction could make the hospital experience less stressful and potentially improve outcomes.
