NCT ID: NCT04966468 Recruiting - Virtual Reality Clinical Trials

Look of Life 2.0. Virtual Reality for Cancer Patients in Home Palliative Care

LOL2020_ANT
Start date: December 14, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Oncological disease, in addition to undermining the physical health and autonomy of the patient, is often accompanied by significant anxious and depressive symptoms that can compromise the quality of life of both patient and his/her family, hindering the adherence to treatment, the effectiveness of therapies and worsening the clinical prognosis. Several studies confirm that a large number of cancer patients experience severe levels of psychological distress, with an average prevalence of any mood disorder ranging from 29% in palliative care to 38% in oncological and hematological settings. The advanced stages of the disease are characterized by a progressive loss of functional autonomy, forcing the patient to a condition of isolation and both sensory and relational deprivation. The reduction of the occasions in which it is possible to experience positive emotions and meaningful social interactions often corresponds to an intensification of obsessive worries and thoughts, which in turn increase stress and connect to further negative emotional experiences. Thus the patient can be trapped in a vicious circle, that might increase the worsening of quality of life. In the last years, alongside traditional interventions, the effectiveness of interventions based on the use of immersive audiovisual technologies has been tested, such as the use of virtual reality (VR), which have the ability to emotionally involve the person, capture his/her attention and direct it towards positive stimuli, without particular effort to be used. Compared to 2D or 3D videos, VR gives to the user a "greater degree of presence", giving the impression of being immersed in a reality different from the real one. Unlike any other form of psychological intervention, VR does not require special training to be used and has the advantage of being used even in situations of poor mobility or attention capacity. Available literature shows how the use of VR for cancer patients is a widespread practice that can be considered an additional psychological technique. Several studies showed that VR can help in decreasing the psychophysical symptoms usually experienced by cancer patients in different settings (e.g., chemotherapy sessions, invasive medical procedures, and hospitalization). However, up to now, there are no studies in the scientific literature on the use of VR in the context of home palliative care. In this setting, it could be extremely interesting to test the effectiveness of this innovative technology, due to its growing diffusion and accessibility. The present study is aimed at assessing the effects of VR in cancer patients followed by ANT Foundation home palliative care program. The VR headset will be kept at the patients' home so that he/she can use it in moments of greatest psychophysical discomfort (e.g., pain peaks, moments of anxiety or sadness). The VR will contain both non-interactive and interactive contents, the last ones specifically developed for ANT patients.

NCT ID: NCT04934293 Recruiting - Virtual Reality Clinical Trials

Virtual Reality for Children in Radiotherapy (REVER)

REVER
Start date: August 26, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

For a young patient, the conditions of proton therapy treatment can be stressful. Adjusting the environment can be a source of avoiding this physical and psychological discomfort impacting the quality of treatment. A fixed, long, uncomfortable position is the main cause of stress, already present due to the cancerous therapeutic course. It extends the positioning time. For the patient and the optimization of his treatment, solutions must be sought. Relaxation in virtual reality is efficient, simple and non-medicinal and could reduce stress in children and allow irradiation in very good conditions. We will assess the effectiveness of the virtual reality session using objective (placement time, helmet tolerance) and subjective (perceived anxiety via a dedicated questionnaire) criteria. This is the first pediatric virtual reality study, supported by the French Group of Pediatric Radiotherapists, to reduce anxiety in radiotherapy. Multiple benefits from this pilot study are expected, such as improved reception conditions, treatment parameters and better acceptance of proton therapy sessions.

NCT ID: NCT04862598 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Patient Satisfaction

Virtual Reality to Improve Satisfaction in Hysteroscopy Patients

VIP
Start date: March 24, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to investigate whether viewing an immersive virtual reality (VR) image through a VR headset during elective hysteroscopy under Registered Nurse (RN) led sedation with fentanyl and midazolam plus local anesthesia (monitored anesthetic care) will improve patient satisfaction with their anesthesia. Patients will be randomized to either receive usual care or usual care plus VR. Satisfaction will be measured by asking patients to complete a post-procedure survey consisting of 11 questions.

NCT ID: NCT04858984 Completed - Pain Clinical Trials

Virtual Reality, Experience During Labour; a Qualitative Research (VIREL)

VIREL
Start date: July 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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 labour pain. The aim of this qualitative study is to explore the experience, preference, and satisfaction of the use of two different VR scenario's during labour. The secondary outcome parameter is the effect of VR on pain reduction and anxiety during labour, measured by NRS score.

NCT ID: NCT04779671 Recruiting - Virtual Reality Clinical Trials

Effects of the Fully Immersive VR Cognitive Training Based on Leisure Activities for the Elderly With MCI and SCD.

Start date: October 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and subjective cognitive decline (SCD) are risk groups for dementia, and thus appropriate interventions are required. Cognitive training is a common intervention applied to the elderly with cognitive decline. Cognitive training integrated into leisure activities can increase the training motivation of the elderly, while improving cognitive performance and daily functions. Virtual reality (VR) can simulate daily living situations, and it can be an effective intervention with cognitive training. Although a few studies have found immersive VR cognitive training can improve the cognitive function of the elderly with cognitive decline, these studies have shown inconsistent results. In addition, it is yet not clear the long-term effect of fully immersive VR cognitive training and its impact on daily function. Furthermore, for immersive VR cognitive training, there is still a lack of training programs that integrate into the context of leisure activities. This type of VR cognitive training could help the effectiveness of cognitive training to be transferred into daily functions.
