Summary

This study tested whether wearing virtual reality glasses during a common kidney stone treatment (ESWL) can lower patients' pain, anxiety, and improve comfort. Seventy adults undergoing the procedure for the first time took part. Researchers measured pain, anxiety, and comfort levels to see if the VR distraction helps.
