Summary

This trial investigates whether a 20-minute virtual reality nature scene or the Benson Relaxation Technique can lower anxiety and increase happiness in adults who have recently had bariatric surgery. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups or a control group, and their anxiety and happiness levels are measured using standard questionnaires. The goal is to find simple, non-drug ways to support emotional well-being after surgery.

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 headset and the Benson Relaxation Technique
What this could lead to
If effective, these simple, drug-free techniques could offer a low-cost way to improve emotional recovery after weight-loss surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with 180 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The interventions are brief and may not produce lasting changes in anxiety or happiness.
