This trial tests whether adding virtual reality to standard pulmonary rehabilitation can improve muscle strength, exercise ability, and breathing symptoms in people with long-term lung conditions like COPD. Participants will experience both standard rehab and rehab with virtual reality to see which works better.
This trial tests if using virtual reality during exercise can help manage symptoms and improve rehabilitation for people with interstitial lung disease, a condition that causes scarring in the lungs and makes breathing hard.
This trial tests a social virtual reality tool designed to help adolescents and young adults with cancer (and their caregivers) learn about their condition and treatment. It focuses on patients who are newly diagnosed and will receive chemotherapy through a central line.
This study tests a new way to help surgeons remove lung cancer more precisely using virtual reality and a special dye. It might help ensure the cancer is fully removed while saving as much healthy lung as possible.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality can help reduce stress, anxiety, and other emotional symptoms in people being treated for cancer. Patients undergoing chemotherapy, bone marrow transplant, or CAR-T therapy may be eligible.
This study tests whether using a virtual reality (VR) headset during radiation therapy can reduce anxiety. It is for people with prostate, breast, lung, or head and neck cancer who will have at least 15 radiation sessions.
