Filter by:When the literature is examined, it is seen that virtual reality glasses are used during medical procedures, have an anxiety-lowering effect and have a reducing effect on the perception of fatigue (20, 7, 10, 11). On the other hand, no study has been found in the literature on the application of virtual glasses to pregnant women who underwent NST. However, in line with the results of the study on virtual glasses, it is thought that the application of virtual glasses will also have a positive effect on the Reactive (Negative) Non-Stress Test result by reducing the anxiety level of pregnant women and increasing fetal movement and fetal cup speed in pregnant women with NST. This study was planned to examine the effects of virtual reality glasses, one of the cognitive behavioral techniques, on fetal movement, fetal heart rate, maternal satisfaction and anxiety level.
This study aimed to explore the effects of a combination of 3D virtual reality (VR) and hands-on horticultural activities on the mental health of community-dwelling older adults.
The purpose of this single-center randomized study is to investigate whether bronchoscopy training in an immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) environment will make the surgeon better at handling distractions and increase the quality of the bronchoscopy. The participants will be stratified according to gender and randomized into two groups. Both groups will initially train on the bronchoscopy simulator without VR. Afterwards the intervention group will train in an iVR environment with Virtual Reality Goggles while using the bronchoscopy simulator, while the control group will train without VR goggles. Afterwards both groups will be tested in the iVR environment in a test scenario
Aim: To obtain standardization data in static virtual SVV and dynamic virtual SVV tests according to different head and body positions by keeping up with developing technologies. In this way, it is planned to evaluate the treatment responses of patients who receive vestibular rehabilitation in a healthier way.
Main objective : Evaluate the effect of using a virtual reality mask during the peripheral intravenous catheter insertion in a pediatric day hospital on the pain and anxiety in children from 6 to 11 years old. Hypothesis : Using virtual reality mask during the peripheral intravenous catheter insertion would reduce the 6 to 11 child's pain, the children and parents' anxiety, would improve satisfaction of children, parents and nurse about the care and would reduce time and cost of the procedure.
Compare the maximum pain and anxiety experienced between the group using a virtual reality headset and the control group in an adult woman during a hysterosalpingography examination
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the application of virtual reality (VR) is effective in reducing training pain in robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in patients with lower extremity burn. The investigators investigated through an analysis of the activation status over time in the prefrontal cortex using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).
Childbirth is associated with labour pain and can be regarded as one of the most serious kinds of pain. Labour pain management methods include pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods. There is increasing evidence that virtual reality (VR) is effective in the reduction of pain. The implementation of alternative methods like VR to reduce labour pain can contribute to reduce the use of pharmacological pain management methods and associated side effects. The objective of this study is to asses the effect of VR on the request for labour analgesia compared with standard care. Secondary objectives are the effect of VR on; the referral rate from midwifery led first line care to second line obstetrical care, patient satisfaction of VR use, delivery expectancy and experience (WIDEQ-A and WIDEQ-B), patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) and patient reported experience measure (PREMs) as defined by international consortium for health outcome measures (ICHOM) and evaluate the social, economic, organizational and ethical issues of VR by using the health-technology assessment analysis (HTA). Study design: The study concerns a non-blinded, single centre, randomised controlled trial Study population: Nulliparous and multiparous women with a singleton in cephalic presentation beyond 36+0 weeks' gestation and an intention for vaginal delivery. The study population will be randomly assigned to the intervention group (VR-group) or the care as usual group. The intervention group will be exposed to an immersive guided relaxation VR experience (BirthVR) during labour. If a woman in the intervention group requires additional pharmacological pain relief, this will be offered according to the local protocol. The participants who are randomised to the standard care group receive labour pain analgesia on maternal request according to the local usual standard care.
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been known for almost forty years to generate fear and anxiety. Children may become restless during scanning, which results in movement artifacts requiring the MRI to be repeated with sedation. Very few studies seemed to have looked at the effect of virtual reality (VR) on anxiety in children scheduled for an MRI and how to identify which children are more responsive. Objective: The aims of this study are three-fold: 1- to develop an algorithm of predictability based on biofeedback; 2- to address feasibility and acceptability of a pre-procedural immersive VR (IVR) game preparation for anxiety management during MRIs and 3- to examine the efficacy of IVR game preparation compared to usual care for the management of procedural anxiety during MRIs. Methods: This study will first consist of a field test phase with 10 participants, aged 7 to 17 years old, to develop a predictive algorithm for biofeedback solution and to address the feasibility and acceptability of the research. Following the field test, a RCT will be completed using a parallel design with two groups: 1) experimental group (pre-procedural IVR game preparation), 2) usual care group (standard care as per radiology department's protocol) in an equal ratio of 49 participants per group for a total of 98 participants. Recruitment will be done at CIUSSS de l'Est de l'Île de Montréal, Quebec, Canada. The experimental group will receive a pre-procedural IVR game preparation (IMAGINE) that offers an immersive simulation of the MRI. Participants will complete a questionnaire to assess the acceptability, feasibility and incidence of side effects related to the intervention and the biofeedback device. Data collected will include socio-demographic, clinical characteristics and measures of procedure related-anxiety with the French-Canadian version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC-F) and the Child Fear Scale (CFS, 0-4). Physiological signs will be noted and include heart rate, skin conductance, hand temperature and muscle tension. Measures of healthcare professionals, parents, and participants' level of satisfaction will also be collected. Analyses will be carried out according to the intention-to-treat principle, with a significance level (α) of 0.05. Conclusions: Our study provides an alternative method for anxiety management to better prepare patients for an awake MRI. The biofeedback will help predict which children are more responsive to this type of intervention. This study will guide future medical practice by providing evidence-based knowledge on a non-pharmacological therapeutic modality for anxiety management in children scheduled for an MRI.
The purpose of the research is to evaluate the feasibility and scalability of delivering a 30-minute novel virtual reality (VR) experience through the Oculus Quest 2 Virtual Reality headset with the aim of measuring changes in: 1) patient-reported stress levels on a survey, 2) blood pressure, 3)heart rate, 4) respiration rate 5) heart rate variability 6) and galvanic skin response in cardiology clinic and cardiac rehabilitation patients.
