AR/VR for ultrasound-guided procedures
This study tests whether using augmented reality or virtual reality (AR/VR) can help doctors perform ultrasound-guided procedures more accurately. If you are an adult having an ultrasound-guided procedure and are in generally good health, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for a procedure that uses ultrasound guidance (like a biopsy or injection)
- You are in good to fair health (ASA physical status I, II, or III)
- You are not pregnant
- You are not currently incarcerated
- Your BMI (body mass index) is 35 or lower

This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) can help anaesthesia trainees learn anatomy better than traditional methods. If you are a resident in an anaesthesia training program, you may be eligible to take part.
This trial uses your CT scan to build a virtual reality surgical platform. It may help doctors practice surgeries in a safe, simulated environment.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) can help reduce pain and anxiety during a procedure where you lie on your stomach. If it works, it might make these procedures more comfortable for you.
This study tests if augmented reality (a type of computer overlay) can help doctors perform MRI-guided needle procedures more accurately in children and young adults. It may lead to safer and more precise treatments.
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 whether using virtual reality during outpatient (same-day) orthopedic surgery—under local or regional anesthesia—can improve patient satisfaction. It may help make the experience more comfortable for some patients, but it also depends on whether you can safely use VR.
