Clinical Trial Summary

This research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study in order to evaluate the effect of virtual reality application on pain and anxiety caused by the procedure during stone crushing process (ESWL) with shock waves.


Clinical Trial Description

Although urinary tract stones often remain asymptomatic at first, they can cause pain, hematuria, infection, decreased kidney function and kidney failure over time and can seriously affect the quality of life of people if not treated with appropriate methods. Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) has been practiced as a treatment method to remove urolithiasis from the kidneys and ureters since the early 1980s. The process is based on the principle that the sound waves obtained from a source other than the body are turned into shock waves and sent to the stone and the stone is broken down. Relief of pain and anxiety during ESWL; In addition to maintaining patient comfort and satisfaction, it is extremely important to reduce the movement of the patient during the procedure and to facilitate the imaging and targeting of the stone. Diverting attention is one of the most preferred methods to reduce the pain that occurs in patients while the diagnosis and treatment procedures are carried out. This method; It is a method that focuses the attention of patients on a different point and keeps the symptoms they experience under control and reduces them. Strategies to divert attention include the application of virtual reality, which has been one of the methods that have attracted attention in recent years. The individual focuses his attention on the image by moving away from real life with the glasses connected to the device worn on his head and the sounds coming from the headphones and feels as if he is in a different world thanks to these glasses. In practice, it is aimed to reduce the patient's pain, discomfort and anxiety by drawing the patient's attention from pain and painful treatment procedures to a fun virtual environment. ;
