What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing

Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether wearing virtual reality glasses during femoral sheath removal — a routine step after a heart catheterization — can lower pain, anxiety, and changes in vital signs. About 60 adults undergoing this procedure will be randomly assigned to either use VR glasses or receive standard care. Researchers will measure pain, anxiety, heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and body temperature before, during, and after the procedure to see if VR improves 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 glasses
What this could lead to
If effective, virtual reality could offer a drug-free way to ease discomfort during a common post-heart-procedure step.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The effect may be modest or no better than standard care.
