Virtual reality for ICU patient satisfaction and recovery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (wearing a headset to see calming scenes) helps people in the ICU feel better, recover faster, and be more satisfied with their care. It is for awake and stable ICU patients who can follow simple instructions.
