About this study

The Vascular Access Unit (UAV) of the Lyon Sud Hospital Center is the first unit within a French public establishment where the Regional Health Agency (ARS) has authorized that medical procedures for the installation of central venous access be performed by nurses.

The installation of CIP represents an anxiety-provoking step for the patient, because the gesture, which consists of inserting a box under the skin, connected to a catheter, placed in a deep vein, involves uncomfortable, even painful moments. In the UAV, the installation of this device is carried out in the operating room, without premedication and only under local anesthesia. Affected patients usually have a diagnosis of serious illness (oncology).

Virtual Reality (VR) simulates the physical presence of the patient in an environment artificially generated by software. Many applications have already been evaluated in different health sectors, the investigators would like to show its interest in reducing patient anxiety during CIP placement under local anesthesia, without premedication.

The medical device used is Lumeen. It is a Class I medical device software within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/745, CE marked. In the context of research, the Relaxation module is used. This module is the one intended for the management of anxiety and pain induced by medical procedures in adults and children over 6 years of age. It allows to perform immersions in 360° videos in real shots or computer-generated images, accompanied by natural sounds, relaxing music and a relaxation script recorded by hypnotherapists. The duration of an immersion can be adjusted according to the needs of the medical procedure..

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Virtual realityDevice

    When the patient is ready to have the CIP procedure the tablet will be presented to him so that he can view and choose the immersive film that suits him best.

    Before fitting the virtual reality helmet and the start of the film, the patient's anxiety will be evaluated by ENS on a scale of 0 to 10 . The patient's anxiety will also be evaluated at the end of the procedure.

    The patient will be contacted by telephone by an investigator between D+1 and D+5 in order to reassess and remotely from the pose, his memorization of the gesture and to look for adverse events.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Description of Patient's anxiety through his participation

    Evaluated by Simple Numerical Scale : Anxiety from 0 to 10

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 5 days

  2. Evolution of Patient's anxiety during the procedure

    Evaluated by Simple Numerical Scale : Anxiety from 0 to 10

    Measured: Day 0

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Effects of virtual reality on the pain perceived by the patient;

    The patient's pain, over the entire procedure, measured by Simple Numerical Scale : Pain from 0 to 10

    Measured: Day 0 (after placing the port)

  2. Effects of virtual reality on Pulse

    The Pulse of the patient

    Measured: Day 0 (before, during and after placing the port)

  3. Effects of virtual reality on Blood Pressure

    The Blood Pressure of the patient (both systolic and diastolic)

    Measured: Day 0 (before, during and after placing the port)

  4. Effects of virtual reality on memorization of the gesture

    Measured by a Likert scale (Likert scale = Very Uncomfortable- Uncomfortable- Comfortable- Very Comfortable)

    Measured: Day 0 (after placing the port) and through study completion between D+1 and D+5

  5. Effects of virtual reality on the perception of time

    Perception of time in minutes estimated by the patient (In your opinion, how long did the gesture last? and difference with the actual duration of the gesture

    Measured: Day 0 (after placing the port)

  6. Effects of virtual reality on satisfaction and comfort during installation

    Measured by a Simple Numerical Scale from 0 to 10

    Measured: Day 0 (after placing the port)

  7. Effects of virtual reality on the caregiver's perception of the ease of the gesture

    Measured by a Likert scale, (Likert scale = Easy-patient Immobile - appearing relaxed / Moderately Easy-Patient slightly mobile- Reactive / Difficult-Patient having difficulty in staying Still- Very reactive- Seeming tense)

    Measured: Day 0 (after placing the port)

  8. Effects of virtual reality on caregiver satisfaction

    Measured by a Simple Numerical Scale from 0 to 10

    Measured: Day 0 (after placing the port)

  9. Effects of virtual reality on the duration of the intervention

    Duration of the procedure in minutes between the patient entering and leaving the operating room

    Measured: Day 0 (after placing the port)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Virtual reality in people with Anxiety and CIP, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Description of Patient's anxiety through his participation (time frame: through study completion, an average of 5 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
