Virtual reality help for patients leaving intensive care
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses virtual reality (VR) exercises to help patients feel stronger and more confident as they move from the intensive care unit (ICU) to a regular hospital room. It aims to improve recovery and reduce stress during this important transition.
