Virtual reality headset for endoscopy comfort
This trial tests if a virtual reality headset can help doctors feel more comfortable during certain scoping procedures. It looks at how the headset affects physical strain while doing colonoscopy, EUS, or ERCP.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are either the doctor (endoscopist) or the patient for a colonoscopy, EUS (endoscopic ultrasound), or ERCP (a scope to look at bile ducts).
- The procedure is performed at Cleveland Clinic Weston.
- The procedure is not a special balloon colonoscopy, ERCP on a native papilla (first-time), cholangioscopy (scope inside bile ducts), therapeutic EUS (like draining cysts or placing stents), or removal of a polyp larger than 20 mm.
- The procedure is not done on a patient who is staying in the hospital (inpatient) or was stopped early.
- Doctors must agree to take part in the study.

This study tests whether using virtual reality during a digestive endoscopy procedure can help reduce anxiety and discomfort. It may offer a non-drug way to help you feel calmer during the exam.
This trial tests if using virtual reality (VR) during a cystoscopy (a procedure to look inside the bladder) can help reduce pain or anxiety. If you are having a rigid cystoscopy for the first time under local anesthesia, you may be able to participate.
This study tests whether doctors using a virtual reality headset during a routine colonoscopy can better find polyps or other issues. It may help make colonoscopies more accurate and comfortable.
This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset (a mask that shows calming images and sounds) helps people feel more comfortable during a colonoscopy done without general anesthesia. If you are having this procedure awake, the virtual reality might help reduce pain and anxiety.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (a computer-generated 3D environment you can see and hear) during a colonoscopy can reduce pain, anxiety, and embarrassment. If it works, it could make the procedure more comfortable for people who have it without sedation.
This study tests whether using a virtual reality headset before an upper endoscopy (a camera test of your stomach) helps lower anxiety and makes you feel more ready. It may also improve how satisfied you are with the procedure afterwards.
