Virtual Reality to Help Patients and Caregivers at Home
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR)—immersive computer experiences you wear like goggles—can improve quality of life for patients receiving end-of-life comfort care and their family caregivers at home. Researchers believe VR might reduce stress, pain, and anxiety for both.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
