Summary

This study tests whether watching virtual reality videos of mountains, beaches, and waterfalls before coronary angiography can lower anxiety, boost comfort, and improve patient satisfaction. Researchers will compare first-time angiography patients who use VR goggles to those who do not, measuring anxiety levels, comfort scores, and vital signs. The goal is to see if a simple, non-drug distraction can make the procedure less stressful.

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 video of natural landscapes
What this could lead to
If effective, VR could become a simple, drug-free way to help patients feel calmer and more comfortable before heart procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with 74 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The effect may be modest or no better than standard care.
