Summary

This study tests whether using a virtual reality headset during PICC line placement can reduce anxiety and pain in cancer patients. About 120 adults will be randomly assigned to either receive VR plus standard care or standard care alone. The goal is to see if this non-drug approach improves the overall experience of the procedure.
