Virtual reality for perianal Crohn's surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether using virtual reality (VR) technology can help doctors better plan surgery for people with Crohn's disease around the bottom. It aims to improve how fistulas and abscesses are managed.

This study tests if using a virtual reality (VR) program can help reduce stomach pain in people with Crohn's disease that is not currently active. You will try the VR experience and report how your pain changes.
This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset (a mask that shows calming images and sounds) helps people feel more comfortable during a colonoscopy done without general anesthesia. If you are having this procedure awake, the virtual reality might help reduce pain and anxiety.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (a computer-generated 3D environment you can see and hear) during a colonoscopy can reduce pain, anxiety, and embarrassment. If it works, it could make the procedure more comfortable for people who have it without sedation.
This study tests whether doctors using a virtual reality headset during a routine colonoscopy can better find polyps or other issues. It may help make colonoscopies more accurate and comfortable.
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) therapy can help reduce anxiety in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). You'll use a VR headset at home to do guided exercises, which may help you feel calmer and better manage your condition.
This study tests if using virtual reality can reduce pain and anxiety during outpatient urology procedures like circumcision, prostate biopsy, or flexible cystoscopy. If you are having one of these procedures for the first time, you may be able to participate.
