Virtual Reality-Guided Imagery in Hemodialysis Patients ( VRGI-HD )
Sponsor: Islamic University of Najaf
Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of virtual reality guided imagery on selected health outcomes among adult patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either a virtual reality-guided imagery intervention group or a routine-care control group. Participants in the intervention group will receive virtual reality guided imagery during hemodialysis sessions using a virtual reality headset and standardized guided imagery content, while the control group will receive routine care. The study will assess whether virtual reality-guided imagery can improve the selected outcomes among patients undergoing hemodialysis.

virtual reality-guided imagery (VRGI)
Virtual reality-guided imagery (VRGI) is a non pharmacological behavioral intervention delivered during a hemodialysis session using a virtual reality headset. Participants will experience standardized immersive visual content accompanied by guided imagery audio designed to promote relaxation and provide distraction from the hemodialysis environment. The intervention will be delivered in a standardized manner in addition to routine hemodialysis care.
