The Effect of Virtual Reality Use in Cystoscopy on Pain, Anxiety, and Comfort: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aims to evaluate the effects of virtual reality (VR) distraction on pain, anxiety, and comfort levels patients undergoing cystoscopy. Cystoscopy is a common diagnostic procedure in urology that can cause physical discomfort and anxiety in patients. This randomized controlled trial assigns eligible participants to either an experimental group receiving VR video distraction during the procedure or a control group receiving standard care without VR intervention. Pain, anxiety, and comfort levels are assessed and compared between the two groups using standardized measurement tools.
