Summary
This study tested whether using virtual reality or listening to music during coronary angiography (a heart procedure) could lower patients' anxiety, pain, and improve heart rate and blood pressure. 120 patients were randomly assigned to VR, music, or standard care. The goal was to see if these simple distractions make the procedure less stressful.
