Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults over 18 scheduled for coronary angiography (or pacemaker implantation), not receiving sedation, with consent and no language, sensory, or cognitive barriers.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who require sedation, have significant sensory impairments, or are unable to participate in VR may not benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This randomized controlled study compares a VR intervention with standard care in patients undergoing coronary angiography. Participants in the VR group wear VR glasses for 15 minutes during the procedure, viewing relaxing environments to induce distraction and relaxation. Primary outcome is change in state anxiety; secondary outcomes include changes in blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation. AI-supported analyses will explore patterns in the clinical and physiological data.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, VR could reduce anxiety and help stabilize vital signs during the procedure, potentially improving comfort and safety.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research suggests VR can reduce preoperative anxiety in various surgical settings, supporting potential benefit in this context.
