Video game tech tested to soothe surgery patients

NCT ID NCT07274098

Summary

This small pilot study tested whether using a virtual reality (VR) headset could help patients relax and feel less pain and anxiety after colon surgery. Ten patients were randomly split into two groups: one used a VR headset with calming scenes twice a day, and the other did not. Researchers compared the daily pain and anxiety scores between the two groups to see if VR made a difference.
