Effect of Virtual Reality (VR) on Pain Relieve During Colonoscopy

Effect of Virtual Reality (VR) on Pain Relieve During Colonoscopy: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 98 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Peking Union Medical College Hospital · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 50 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of virtual reality (VR) technology in alleviating pain during colonoscopy. Design and Methods: In the context of a single-centered, prospective, randomized controlled study, the pain levels experienced during colonoscopy are compared between the VR group and the control group.

Detailed description

Patient allocation to either the VR group or the control group will be determined through a randomization process employing sealed opaque envelopes. Patients in the VR group will engage in interactive gaming experiences facilitated by VR devices. The primary outcome measure will be the assessment of pain levels during colonoscopy, which will be quantified using the "Visual Analogue Scale." Additionally, researchers will assess anxiety levels using the "State-Trait Anxiety Inventory" both before and after the colonoscopy procedure. Vital signs during colonoscopy, procedural effects, and adverse effects would also be analyzed.
