Virtual Reality in Electrophysiology Procedures
This study is looking at how virtual reality (VR) goggles can be used during electrophysiology (EP) procedures, which are treatments for irregular heartbeats like Premature Ventricular Complexes (PVCs). The goal is to see if VR can help distract patients during these procedures. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, are scheduled for an EP procedure with MAC (Monitored Anesthesia Care), and don't have a history of motion sickness or blindness. The study will measure how well virtual reality works as a distractor for up to two hours during the procedure. The study plans to enroll 10 participants, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an observational study with 10 planned participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
- What's involved
- You would use virtual reality goggles during your electrophysiology procedure.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary endpoint, virtual reality as a distractor, is measured for up to 2 hours.
