Virtual reality glasses for anxiety during heart catheterization
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing virtual reality glasses during a heart catheterization (through the wrist) can lower your anxiety and reduce a common side effect – spasm of the wrist artery. It is for people having this test for the first time and who are not having a heart attack.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a heart catheterization (coronary angiography) through your wrist (radial artery), not because of a heart attack.

- You are 18 years or older and able to read and understand Turkish.
- You can wear virtual reality glasses (no physical issues that prevent it).
- You do not have a current cancer diagnosis, serious mental health condition, or diagnosed anxiety disorder, and you are not on anxiety or depression medication.
