This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

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 (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether letting cataract surgery patients watch a virtual reality (VR) simulation of the procedure beforehand can reduce their anxiety during the actual surgery. Sixty adults scheduled for cataract surgery will either watch the VR video or receive standard care. Researchers will measure anxiety levels, heart rate, and blood pressure during the operation to see if the VR experience helps patients stay calmer.

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 simulation of intraoperative audiovisual experience
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to help cataract surgery patients feel calmer during the procedure.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The VR experience might not reduce anxiety for all patients.
