Virtual reality glasses for anxiety during heart imaging
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing virtual reality glasses during a coronary angiography (a heart imaging test) can reduce anxiety and prevent a common side effect called vasospasm (a temporary narrowing of the artery in your wrist). If effective, it could make the procedure more comfortable and safer for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- This is your first coronary angiography (a heart imaging test)
- The procedure will be done through an artery in your wrist, not your groin
- You can read and understand Turkish
- You do not have cancer, a psychiatric condition, or a diagnosed anxiety disorder
- You are willing to wear virtual reality glasses during the procedure

This study tests if listening to music during a heart catheterization procedure (through the wrist) can help reduce anxiety and prevent blood vessel spasms. You may be a good fit if you are having your first catheterization for a non-emergency reason.
This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset during a colposcopy (a procedure to examine the cervix) can help reduce anxiety, stress, and pain. You would be randomly assigned to either use VR or receive standard care during the procedure.
This study tests whether wearing virtual reality glasses before a heart test can help you feel calmer and reduce muscle tension. If you're scheduled for a coronary angiography, you might find this helpful for lowering stress.
This study tests whether wearing virtual reality glasses during a heart catheterization or pacemaker procedure can help you feel calmer and keep your heart rate and blood pressure stable. It may be a drug-free way to reduce stress during the procedure.
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 study tests if using virtual reality (a headset that shows calming scenes) can help you feel more relaxed during your heart procedure. It might be an alternative to standard ways of reducing anxiety.
