The Use of Immersive Virtual Reality as a Method of Treating Anxiety and Procedural Pain During Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) of Lower Varicose Veins Under Tumescent Anesthesia
Sponsor: Bydgoszcz University of Science and Technology
Summary
This is a prospective, single-arm, pre-post interventional study designed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and impact of immersive virtual reality (VR) as an adjunct to tumescent local anesthesia during endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) for varicose veins / chronic venous insufficiency. All eligible and consenting participants will receive the same intervention (immersive VR during the entire EVLA procedure). There is no randomization, no control group, and no allocation to different arms. Each participant serves as their own control through before-and-after comparisons
