NCT ID NCT07065994
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether watching calming nature videos with virtual reality glasses can lower pain and anxiety in people recovering from colorectal surgery. Sixty adults will be split into two groups: one group uses the VR glasses before and after surgery, while the other receives standard care. Researchers will measure pain levels and anxiety scores to see if the VR experience makes a difference.
