Virtual reality to reduce anxiety before bronchoscopy
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a virtual reality headset while waiting for a bronchoscopy (a lung exam with a thin, flexible camera) can help lower your anxiety. You will be randomly assigned to either use the headset or get standard care.
