See if virtual reality can help MI patients in ICU feel less anxious and have steadier vital signs

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized design tests whether applying virtual reality glasses to conscious MI patients in the cardiology ICU affects physiological measures (blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and respiratory rate) and anxiety. The study targets adults up to 70 years old who have STEMI and have undergone stent placement, and who are oriented and cooperative. Outcome data from this intervention could inform how technology like VR might support cardiovascular care in critical settings.
