Virtual reality for mothers expressing milk for babies in intensive care
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) glasses, which provide a calming visual experience, can help mothers relax and express breast milk more easily for their babies who are in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
