Virtual Reality Therapy in Cardiology

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) therapy in the treatment of depression and anxiety symptoms in patients undergoing second stage of cardiac rehabilitation. Half of the study group will receive VR therapy (VR group) as an addition to cardiologically monitored physical training. The other half of the group (control group) will receive Schultz Autogenic Training as a standard supplement to cardiological training

Clinical Trial Description

Cardiologically monitored physical training in second stage of cardiac rehabilitation leads to the improvement in the physical capacity and overall fitness of the patients with cardiovascular diseases, allowing restoration of independence in daily functioning. Psychological support is required in order to reduce the negative psychological symptoms related to the heart disease. In this study the investigators want to assess the effectiveness of the virtual reality (VR) therapy compared to standard psychological support (Schultz Autogenic Training).Thanks to using head mounted display (VR goggles) and the phenomenon of total immersion VR therapy allows to completely separate the patient from the hospital environment, provides an intense visual, auditory and kinesthetic stimulation. Depending on the stage of therapy it can have a calming and mood-improving effect or, in another part of the therapy, it can motivate the patient to the rehabilitation process. The additional aim of the VR therapy is to help the patients regain their emotional balance, let them recognize their psychological resources and trigger the natural recovery mechanisms.

The aims of the project:

1. The evaluation of the influence of VR therapy on the depressive symptoms and the anxiety level of the patients undergoing second stage of cardiac rehabilitation.

2. The evaluation of the influence of VR therapy on the stress level of the patients undergoing second stage of cardiac rehabilitation. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
