Virtual reality for anxiety and pain during radiology procedures
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a special virtual reality headset (HypnoVR) during an interventional radiology procedure (done with numbing medicine but not full sedation) can help reduce anxiety and pain. It is an option for adults who are awake but want extra comfort during their procedure.
