Stroke is a sudden medical condition that affects the brain. During the acute phase of astroke, many patients experience agitation, which means feeling restless, anxious, oruncooperative. Agitation can complicate medical care and negatively affect a patient'srecovery and vital signs (such as heart rate and blood pressure).The main purpose of this study is to evaluate whether using a Virtual Reality (VR)application helps reduce agitation levels and stabilize vital signs in individuals whohave experienced an acute stroke.This is a randomized controlled, single‐blind clinical trial. Participants with acutestroke will be randomly assigned to one of two groups:Intervention Group: Participants will receive a structured Virtual Reality (VR)application session in addition to their routine stroke care.Control Group: Participants will receive standard routine clinical care and monitoringwithout the VR application.Researchers will measure and compare the participants' agitation levels using a clinicalevaluation scale before and after the intervention. In addition, physiological vitalsigns (including heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation)will be closely monitored to determine the effects of the VR therapy.
