Virtual Reality Relaxation for Cancer Patients Getting Cell Therapy
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a virtual reality program to teach relaxation techniques can help reduce stress and anxiety in cancer patients receiving cellular therapy (a type of cancer treatment). You'd use a VR headset while in the hospital to practice guided muscle relaxation exercises.
