NCT ID NCT07274098
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether using a virtual reality (VR) headset with calming scenes and breathing exercises could help patients relax and feel less pain after abdominal surgery. Ten adults who had laparoscopic colorectal surgery were split into two groups: one used the VR headset twice a day for up to 5 days, and the other did not. Researchers measured pain and anxiety levels daily and tracked pain medicine use to see if VR made a difference.
