This trial tests whether using virtual reality (a special headset that shows you a different world) can help people with end-stage kidney disease feel better during their dialysis sessions. It may help reduce stress or discomfort.
This study tests whether using virtual reality can help reduce symptoms (like fatigue, pain, or anxiety) during dialysis. You would use a VR headset during your regular dialysis sessions and report how you feel.
This trial tests if exercising with a virtual reality headset during dialysis can help balance key minerals in your blood. You will use the VR headset to do light exercises while sitting, and researchers will check your electrolyte levels.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality during hemodialysis affects how patients feel or do during treatment. It compares using virtual reality at the beginning of the dialysis session versus the end.
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) can help reduce anxiety and depression in children with end-stage kidney disease who are on hemodialysis through an arteriovenous fistula. It may offer a fun, drug-free way to feel better during treatment.
This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset during your arteriovenous fistula surgery (a procedure to create an access point for dialysis) can help reduce anxiety and pain. You'll use the VR headset while awake during the procedure to see if it improves your comfort and experience.
