Virtual reality relaxation for hemodialysis patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (VR) with guided imagery during dialysis can help you feel more relaxed and improve your well-being. If you are on maintenance hemodialysis, you might benefit from this calming distraction during your sessions.
