First seen Dec 10, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study looks at whether using virtual reality (watching nature scenes with music) or squeezing a stress ball can help reduce fear, pain, and anxiety in people having a ureteroscopy (a procedure to treat kidney stones). About 90 adults will be split into three groups: one using VR, one using a stress ball, and one getting standard care. The goal is to see if these simple tools make the experience less stressful and more satisfying.
