Virtual reality headset for endoscopy comfort
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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 trial tests if using virtual reality can help reduce anxiety and discomfort for patients undergoing an endoscopy, a procedure that looks inside your digestive tract. You might qualify if you are scheduled for an upper or lower digestive endoscopy under general anesthesia.
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 trial tests whether using a VR headset (called GI Genius XR) during a routine colonoscopy helps doctors see polyps more clearly. You may be eligible if you are 45 or older and scheduled for a routine colonoscopy for cancer screening or follow-up.
This study tests whether using virtual reality before an upper endoscopy can help reduce anxiety and make you feel more prepared and satisfied with the procedure.
This trial tests whether wearing a virtual reality mask can make a colonoscopy more comfortable for people who choose not to have general anesthesia. If you are having a complete colonoscopy while awake, this might help you feel less pain or anxiety.
This trial tests if watching virtual reality videos during a colonoscopy or upper endoscopy can help patients relax and need less sedation. It is for people having these procedures at NYU Langone Brooklyn Hospital.
