Effect of Virtual Reality-Guided Imagery on Pain, Anxiety, and Fatigue in Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy

Sponsor: Thoalfokar Mohammed Al-Obaidi

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality-guided imagery in reducing pain, anxiety, and fatigue among female breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving virtual reality-guided imagery in addition to routine care, or a control group receiving routine care

Interventions

DEVICE

Virtual Reality-Guided Imagery

The intervention consists of immersive virtual reality-guided imagery delivered using a commercially available VR headset and pre-designed guided imagery software. Participants will wear the VR headset during chemotherapy sessions, which provides access to pre-recorded guided imagery programs. These programs include standardized audiovisual content such as calming natural scenes, relaxation instructions, and breathing guidance designed to promote relaxation and distraction from pain, anxiety, and fatigue. The content is not developed by the researcher but is selected from existing validated or commercially available VR applications. Each session will be administered under supervision during chemotherapy and in addition to routine hospital care. The intervention aims to reduce symptom burden by shifting the patient's attention away from treatment-related discomfort through immersive guided imagery experiences.
