VR simulation for children before MRI
This study tests if a VR simulation before an MRI can help children feel more comfortable and reduce the need for anesthesia. It compares VR with a picture booklet to see which works better.

This study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) experience before an MRI scan can help children feel more comfortable and stay still during the scan. It is designed for children aged 5 to 10 who are having their first MRI for a non-urgent reason.
This study tests if using virtual reality (VR) during interventional radiology procedures can help children feel more comfortable and less anxious. It is looking for children ages 8 and older who are in the normal range of development.
This study tests a new simulation program to help young children (ages 3–6) prepare for an MRI scan. The goal is to make the experience less stressful and more successful.
This study tests whether watching a virtual reality video can help calm children aged 7 to 12 before minor orthopedic surgery. If your child is having a short procedure (less than an hour) with a numbing shot instead of full sleep medicine, this might be a good fit.
This trial tests whether a virtual reality-guided breathing exercise helps children feel more comfortable before an angiography (a heart imaging procedure). If your child qualifies, they will practice controlled breathing using a VR headset to see if it reduces anxiety and improves the experience.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (VR) during certain procedures can make them easier for children, teens, and young adults with blood or cancer-related conditions. Participants must be able to safely use a VR headset and be willing to take part.
