Summary

This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) during a chest drain insertion can make the experience less painful and more tolerable. About 80 adults who need the procedure will be randomly assigned to receive VR distraction or standard care. Researchers will measure satisfaction, pain, and breathlessness to see if VR helps.
