A Pilot Study of Virtual Reality in Hemodialysis for Mitigating Pain and Anxiety: User Experiences and Perceptions.
VR headsets help reduce pain during punctures, especially in patients with more intense pain. The effect on anxiety reduction during punctures or at the end of the session is inconclusive, with better results in those with higher anxiety levels. VR acceptance in the HD population is variable.
