Virtual reality for pain relief during leg artery repair
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a virtual reality headset during a leg artery repair procedure can reduce pain. If you have peripheral artery disease and are having a minimally invasive leg artery surgery under local anesthesia with sedation, you may be able to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have peripheral artery disease (PAD) and are scheduled for a leg artery repair using a small tube (catheter) through a blood vessel.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You understand and speak French.
- You have health insurance (social security or a third party).
- You are able to give your own consent and are not under guardianship or in a protected legal status.
- You do not have conditions that prevent using a VR headset, such as blindness in one or both eyes, epilepsy, migraines, certain psychiatric disorders, pacemakers, hearing aids, defibrillators, or recent injuries to the eyes, face, or scalp.

This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) goggles during painful or stressful procedures in the emergency department can help reduce pain and anxiety. It may be a good option for young patients who need procedures like stitches, IVs, or fracture care.
This study tests whether using a virtual reality mindfulness exercise before and during minimally invasive varicose vein surgery can reduce pain and anxiety. It may help you feel more relaxed during the procedure.
This trial tests if watching virtual reality during regional anesthesia for planned arm or leg surgery can lower the need for calming medicine. It may help you feel more relaxed without as many drugs.
This study tests whether using virtual reality during hip or knee surgery (while you’re receiving a nerve block for anesthesia) helps make the experience more comfortable. You’d try the VR during your procedure, and the team will compare outcomes with usual care.
This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset during varicose vein treatment (a minimally invasive laser procedure on your legs) can help reduce anxiety and pain. You'd use VR while the doctor treats the problematic veins under local anesthesia.
