EFFECT OF VIRTUAL REALITY GLASSES ON ANXIETY AND PAIN DURING DOUBLE J STENT REMOVAL

Sponsor: VOLKAN ENES ÇELİK

Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the impact of Virtual Reality (VR) as a non-pharmacological distraction method on patient-reported pain and anxiety during the removal of ureteral double-J (DJ) stents. Despite being a standard urological procedure, stent removal is often reported by patients to be a source of significant anxiety and procedure-related pain. By utilizing a standardized distraction environment via VR goggles, this study evaluates whether this intervention can effectively modulate the patient's perception of the procedure. The primary outcomes are measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) to assess psychological anxiety and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to quantify the intensity of pain experienced throughout the stent removal process.
