Virtual reality training for psychiatric nurses on auditory hallucinations
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new training program that uses virtual reality (VR) to help psychiatric nurses practice responding to patients who hear voices (auditory hallucinations). The goal is to improve nurses' skills and confidence in caring for these patients.

This study uses brain scans (MRI) and real-time feedback to help train the brain to reduce frequent, distressing auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) in people with schizophrenia. If you qualify, you may try a structured neurofeedback program while researchers track changes in your symptoms.
This trial tests a virtual reality (VR) training program to help people with schizophrenia prepare for work. It aims to see whether VR-based job skills training is safe and helpful for improving readiness and functioning.
This trial tests if virtual reality (VR) training can improve how nurses care for patients with delirium (sudden confusion). It is for nurses who work directly with patients in a hospital setting.
This trial tests if virtual reality therapy can help people who hear distressing voices. It compares VR therapy to a waitlist to see if it gives you more control over the voices.
This study tests whether a virtual reality therapy that lets you talk to an avatar of the voice you hear can help reduce distress and improve thinking skills. It's for people with schizophrenia who hear voices regularly and are on stable medication.
This study tests if virtual reality training helps nursing students understand psychiatric care. It is for students taking a psychiatric nursing course for the first time.
