About this study

The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of intraprocedural Virtual Reality (VR) as a non-pharmacological intervention for mitigating anxiety and pain during Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL). The hypothesis is that VR can effectively reduce both pain and anxiety levels in patients by diverting their cognitive focus, potentially leading to a decrease in pharmacological intervention requirements. The primary outcome is pain at energy level 900 during ESWL for the intervention and the control group. The secondary outcomes are as follows: * Type and dose of analgesia * Conductance scores/values * Anxiety levels * Patient satisfaction * Procedure duration * Adverse events Participants will be randomized into either the intervention or control group. Both groups will undergo ESWL according to standard treatment; however, the intervention group will wear a Virtual Reality headset and noise-cancelling headphones during the procedure, while the control group will not
