Virtual reality for symptom control during stem cell transplant
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (a computer-generated 3D environment) can help you manage symptoms like pain or anxiety during your stem cell transplant. If you are having a donor stem cell transplant and can use VR, you might feel better during your treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be able to speak and understand Turkish.
- You must be scheduled to receive a stem cell transplant from a donor (allogeneic transplant).
- The stem cells must be collected from your blood (peripheral blood), not from bone marrow.
- You cannot have had a stem cell transplant before.
- You must be healthy enough to participate without conditions that could interfere, and you must not have infections or vision/hearing/speech problems that would prevent using VR equipment.

This trial tests whether using virtual reality (VR) during certain procedures can make them easier for children, teens, and young adults with blood or cancer-related conditions. Participants must be able to safely use a VR headset and be willing to take part.
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) can help ease common cancer-treatment side effects like pain, anxiety, sleep trouble, fatigue, or numbness. You may be able to join if you finished your main cancer treatment at least 3 months ago and have one of these symptoms.
This study tests whether using a virtual reality (VR) headset during radiation therapy can reduce anxiety. It is for people with prostate, breast, lung, or head and neck cancer who will have at least 15 radiation sessions.
This trial tests whether watching a virtual reality experience during a medical procedure can help reduce pain and anxiety for people with blood cancers. You may be able to take part if you are getting a bone marrow biopsy, spinal tap, blood draw, or chemotherapy.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality can help reduce stress, anxiety, and other emotional symptoms in people being treated for cancer. Patients undergoing chemotherapy, bone marrow transplant, or CAR-T therapy may be eligible.
This trial uses virtual reality (VR) to help patients relax during their hospital stay for cellular therapy, like CAR T-cell therapy or bone marrow transplant. It aims to reduce stress and improve well-being using guided muscle relaxation exercises.
