Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
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 Results may not be published yet.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 using a virtual reality headset (HypnoVR) during interventional radiology procedures can lower patients' anxiety and pain. Seventy adults will be randomly assigned to either use the VR headset or receive standard care. Researchers will measure anxiety with a questionnaire and pain with a rating scale right after the procedure.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Immersive virtual reality headset (HypnoVR)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a drug-free way to ease anxiety and pain during common medical procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 70 people. The VR headset may not reduce anxiety or pain more than standard care, and results may not apply to all procedures.
