NCT ID NCT07361835
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) training can improve how paramedic students handle crush syndrome, a serious condition from disasters. Researchers will compare VR simulation to traditional lectures in 61 second-year students. The goal is to see if VR boosts knowledge, satisfaction, and engagement.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- virtual reality training
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that VR is a more effective way to train emergency responders for crush injuries.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 61 students, so results may not apply broadly. It measures knowledge and satisfaction, not real-life performance.
