First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset during laser treatment for varicose veins can lower anxiety and pain. About 100 adults will use VR during the procedure, and researchers will measure their heart rate, blood pressure, and comfort levels. The goal is to see if VR can make the experience less stressful without needing extra medication.
