Virtual reality for anxiety in ALS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether using virtual reality can help reduce anxiety for people with ALS. If it works, it could provide a non-drug way to feel more relaxed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of ALS (or a related condition like flail limb or progressive muscle atrophy).
- You can use a virtual reality (VR) headset without getting headaches, feeling dizzy, or having other bad reactions.
- You have no cognitive problems (like trouble thinking or remembering) that would interfere with your ability to complete study tasks.
