This study tests whether using a virtual reality (VR) headset or a 360-degree video on a screen can help children aged 5 to 10 stay calm during their first MRI without needing sedation. The goal is to see if a fun, immersive experience can replace the need for sleep medicine or anesthesia.
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 using a special virtual reality headset (HypnoVR) during an interventional radiology procedure (done with numbing medicine but not full sedation) can help reduce anxiety and pain. It is an option for adults who are awake but want extra comfort during their procedure.
This trial tests if using virtual reality goggles during a first-time IV stick can reduce pain, fear, and stress in children aged 7–12 who are having day surgery. If it works, it could make the experience much easier for kids.
