Recruiting studies
- NCT06340282Recruiting
Virtual reality and exercise for older hospital patients

Virtual reality vs. medication for anxiety before eye surgery
This trial compares using a virtual reality headset against a standard anti-anxiety medication (midazolam) to help patients relax before dacryocystorhinostomy (tear duct) surgery. It aims to find a non-drug way to reduce anxiety.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06615141Recruiting
Virtual reality for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests whether a more immersive virtual reality (VR) game or a simpler VR game better helps improve arm movement in people who have had a stroke and still have arm weakness. You will use a VR headset or screen to do exercises, and researchers will see which approach works best.
AjmanAges 28–55 - NCT06917755Recruiting
Virtual reality training for thyroid surgery
This trial tests if training with virtual reality helps surgical residents learn thyroid surgery better. It compares VR training to standard methods for residents who have finished their first year of training.
ThessalonikiAges Any age - NCT07738120Recruiting
Virtual reality and exercise for multiple sclerosis
This study tests whether using virtual reality along with exercise can help people with multiple sclerosis. It aims to improve physical function and well-being.
PontevedraAges 18 years+ - NCT04215679Recruiting
Virtual reality plus mental practice for stroke hand recovery
This trial tests whether “motor imagery” done with virtual reality can improve hand function after a stroke. You may benefit if you have readable Turkish and enough thinking ability to follow the program.
Bolu, MerkezAges 18–80 - NCT04911738Recruiting
Virtual reality glasses to improve balance after stroke
This trial studies whether virtual reality glasses training can improve balance and body alignment after a recent stroke. It will also compare how stroke participants with balance problems respond versus people without stroke.
GrenobleAges 18–80 - NCT05171244Recruiting
Virtual reality training for kids with autism
This study tests whether immersive virtual reality (VR) training can improve how children with autism process different sensory information (like sights and sounds). It will compare children who do the VR training with another group as part of a pilot study at a child psychiatry center.
Tours, ToursAges 8–16 - NCT05728840Recruiting
Virtual reality exercises for new attention problems after brain injury
This study tests whether virtual reality (computer-generated) exercises can improve attention after a recent brain injury, most often stroke. You may be eligible if your brain injury happened within the last month and testing shows measurable attention difficulties.
LausanneAges 18 years+ - NCT05894005Recruiting
360-degree video to help medical students find their way
This study tests whether an immersive 360-degree video can improve how well first- and second-year medical students learn spatial orientation (finding locations and understanding layout). It may help you practice navigating a hospital more easily without relying on in-person prior experience.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT06021938Recruiting
Virtual Reality for Breathlessness in ALS
This trial tests if using immersive virtual reality can help reduce ongoing shortness of breath in people with ALS who already use a breathing mask (non-invasive ventilation). It may offer a drug-free way to feel more comfortable.
Paris, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06214923Recruiting
Virtual reality for jaw pain caused by TMD
This study tests whether immersive virtual reality can reduce chronic jaw pain from Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD). It uses EEG to see how VR affects brain activity related to pain.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–88 - NCT06366360Recruiting
Virtual reality treatment for stroke-related neglect
This study tests whether virtual reality training can help people who, after a stroke, have trouble noticing things on one side of their body or space (called unilateral neglect). You would use a VR headset to practice tasks that may retrain your brain's attention.
Saint-MauriceAges 18 years+ - NCT06458452Recruiting
Virtual Reality Training for Life Support
This trial tests using virtual reality to make life-support training more realistic. It is for specific anesthesiology students who have not had this training before.
IstanbulAges 20–22 - NCT06511557Recruiting
Virtual reality vs. leg exercises for knee arthritis
This study compares virtual reality exercises with standard leg-strengthening moves to see which better reduces pain and improves function in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 50 years+ - NCT06719063Recruiting
Virtual reality therapy for left-side neglect after stroke
This study tests whether immersive virtual reality with added sensations (like sounds and touch) can help people who have trouble noticing their left side after a right-sided stroke. If you had a first right-sided stroke within the past 3 months and have left neglect, this might help you regain function.
Saint-Sébastien-de-MorsentAges 18 years+ - NCT06728566Recruiting
Virtual reality for work at heights training
This trial tests if adding immersive virtual reality to the standard work at heights training improves learning and safety. It is for first-time SENA students who have never done this kind of work before.
CaliAges 18–65 - NCT06830369Recruiting
Virtual reality for comfort after major surgery in the ICU
This study tests if using virtual reality can help you feel more comfortable while recovering in the intensive care unit (ICU) after major surgery. If you are having heart or major abdominal surgery and will stay in the ICU for at least 2 days, you may be able to try a VR program to see if it eases your stay.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06892886Recruiting
Virtual reality for arm rehab after stroke
This trial tests if immersive virtual reality can help people recover arm movement after a recent stroke. If you had a first stroke within the last month and still have arm weakness, this might be an option.
FerraraAges 18–80 - NCT06913270Recruiting
Virtual reality for pain during burn dressing changes
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) during dressing changes can help reduce pain and anxiety for adults with burn injuries. If you have moderate to severe pain during dressing changes, this approach might offer extra comfort without extra medication.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06928155Recruiting
Using virtual reality for better quality of life

Virtual reality learning: self-guided vs guided debriefing
This trial tests two ways of learning after a virtual reality simulation: one where you talk it through with a guide, and one where you do it on your own. It looks at how these different approaches help medical students learn and feel.
CopenhagenAges Any age - NCT07010536Recruiting
Virtual reality music therapy for stroke recovery
This study tests whether combining virtual reality games with music therapy can help improve thinking and movement skills in people who had a stroke within the last 6 months. It may be a good option if you are between 50 and 75 and can sit up and use your hearing and vision.
