Condition: Pain, Acute · Sponsor: University of Calabria
Pain during pacemaker or defibrillator implantation can increase patient discomfort, anxiety, and the need for deeper sedation. Using virtual reality (VR) as a non-pharmacological distraction tool may help reduce perceived pain, stabilize vital signs, and improve the overall patient experience. This prospective, single-center study evaluates whether adding VR to standard sedation lowers pain levels compared to sedation alone. Patients undergoing device implantation will be randomized to either group, with pain and vital signs monitored throughout the procedure. The study also explores patient satisfaction, adverse effects, and the potential of VR to support same-day discharge after minimally invasive procedures.
