Summary

Brief Summary: Clinical Study

The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate whether the use of virtual reality (VR) before endoscopy reduces anxiety levels and positively impacts vital signs in children. This study aims to answer the following key questions:

Does the VR application reduce pre-endoscopy anxiety in children? Does the VR application improve vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation in children?

Researchers will compare the effects of the VR application with standard care to assess its effectiveness.

Participants:

The experimental group will undergo a 15-minute VR session before the endoscopy.

The control group will receive standard care without VR. Anxiety levels and vital signs will be measured throughout the study.

This study aims to explore whether VR technology can serve as an effective stress management tool during pediatric medical procedure

Conditions

  • Pediatric Anxiety Disorders

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Virtual Reality Video Session

This intervention involves a 10-minute virtual reality (VR) video session designed to reduce pre-procedural anxiety and promote relaxation in pediatric patients. The video immerses participants in a calming virtual environment with interactive and visually engaging content tailored for children. It is administered prior to the endoscopy procedure to help manage anxiety and stabilize vital signs, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation. The VR session serves as a non-pharmacological approach to anxiety management during medical procedures.
