Summary
This study tests whether using a virtual reality headset with guided imagery—like calming nature scenes and breathing exercises—can reduce pain, anxiety, and fatigue in women with breast cancer during chemotherapy. Participants are randomly assigned to either receive VR-guided imagery alongside their usual care or usual care alone. The goal is to see if this technology can make treatment sessions more comfortable.
