About this study

Official title: The Effect Of Virtual Realty Glasses On Pain And Anxiety During The Kidney Stone Lithotripsy Procedure

To determine the pain and anxiety levels of patients using virtual reality glasses during the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy procedure.

Read the detailed description

This randomized clinical trial included 60 patients with lithotripsy procedure. The research group of 60 people was divided into two groups, 30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. While the standard stone crushing process was applied to the control group, the experimental group was watched with virtual reality glasses during the procedure. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Numerical Rating Scale, which was used to measure the level of pain and anxiety level.
