Summary

This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) can reduce pain and anxiety when surgical drains are removed after bariatric surgery. Sixty adults will be randomly assigned to either watch a 360° nature video with VR goggles during the procedure or receive standard care. Pain and anxiety levels are measured before and after drain removal to see if VR offers a non-drug way to improve patient comfort.

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 goggles showing a 360° nature video during surgical drain removal
What this could lead to
If effective, virtual reality could offer a drug-free way to ease pain and anxiety during common medical procedures, improving patient comfort without medication side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply broadly. The effect may be modest, and some patients might not find VR helpful or comfortable.
