Clinical Trial Summary

This is an exploratory study investigating the use of virtual reality-based guided mindfulness meditation in improving pain, stress, and mood within various clinical populations. The feasibility of utilizing VR applications within the populations of patients with various specific disease types and clinical settings is a burgeoning area of research. The goal is to establish an association between the use of VR-based mindfulness meditation, and pain, stress, and mood scores.


Description:

This is a two-center, multi-site exploratory study conducted within the University of California, Los Angeles Health and Greater Los Angeles VA systems. A total of 60 subjects will be recruited. Screening data will be reviewed to determine subject eligibility. Subjects who meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be entered into the study. Subjects will undergo assessments of stress, depression, anxiety, and pain at baseline, pre- and post-VR guided mediation, and monthly for three months. Each subject can undergo VR-guided meditation session no more than one time per day. In subjects who are hospitalized, an attempt will be made to have the subjects undergo the VR meditation and complete the pre- and post- meditation assessments daily until hospital discharge. Duration of the study is expected to be 1 year. Each session is expected to last approximately 15 minutes. Subjects will be given instructions on proper use of the VR devices and how to start the guided meditation software. Once familiar with the device, participants will undergo a guided VR meditation using a commercial VR application. The meditation will last approximately 15 minutes. Prior to starting and on upon completion of each VR meditation session, participants' state pain, anxiety, depression, and stress will be assessed. For each participant enrolled, baseline and monthly assessments using the DASS-21 and PPI-SFI3a will be performed for three consecutive months
