Virtual reality during dialysis, comparing first vs last
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality during hemodialysis affects how patients feel or do during treatment. It compares using virtual reality at the beginning of the dialysis session versus the end.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You’ve been on hemodialysis for at least 3 months
- Your medical condition is currently stable (no major recent changes)
- You have not had a serious heart problem or event in the last 3 months
- You are able to exercise or move enough to take part in the study activities
