Study summary

Current virtual reality device makes motion sickness and visual fatigue having limitation for recreation and other clinical approaches. Still there is no standardized quantification of motion sickness and visual fatigue measurement with objective approach. Current biofeedback accompanied with virtual reality would be promising tool for stress relief.

Read the detailed description

Current virtual reality device makes motion sickness and visual fatigue having limitation for recreation and other clinical approaches. Still there is no standardized quantification of motion sickness and visual fatigue measurement with objective approach. After quantification and improvement with these shortcomings, current biofeedback accompanied with virtual reality would be promising tool for stress relief. This research aims to measure objective motion sickness and visual fatigue with psychological stress in highly stressed group, and to compare between stress relief with existing biofeedback only approach and relief with mixed biofeedback and virtual reality relaxation.

Inclusion criteria

  • scored at least 20 on the PSS-10 (Perceived Stress Scale 10) to verify highly psychological stressed participants at the baseline visits.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • the existence of a current Major depressive disorder or panic disorder, psychotic disorder (e.g., schizophrenia or delusional disorder), bipolar affective disorder,active alcohol or drug use disorder, neurological illness including significant cognitive impairment or Parkinson's disease, mental retardation, significant medical conditions, epilepsy, histories of alcohol or drug dependence, personality disorders, or brain damages during the screening and baseline visits, per the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (Sheehan et al., 1998) according to the , Fifth Edition (DSM-5)
  • the existence of active disease in both orbital parts
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

DSM diagnostic criteria

The American Psychiatric Association’s manual of mental health diagnoses. DSM-5 (2013, revised as DSM-5-TR in 2022) replaced DSM-IV, and some studies still name the older edition. “Meets DSM criteria for …” means diagnosed by that edition’s diagnostic criteria, usually by a clinician in an interview.

Study arms

  • Placebo comparator
    Stress relief with existing biofeedback

    After distressing virtual reality video and full resting time to relieve this stress, the investigators are going to give cognitive distress with serial seven, accompanied with existing biofeedback approach to relieve stress.

    Device: Existing Biofeedback

  • Active comparator
    Stress relief with biofeedback and VR

    After distressing virtual reality video and full resting time to relieve this stress, the investigators are going to give cognitive distress with serial seven, accompanied with biofeedback combined to virtual reality relaxation.

    Device: Biofeedback accompanied with virtual reality

Interventions

  • DeviceExisting Biofeedback

    Using relaxing assisted biofeedback approach

  • DeviceBiofeedback accompanied with virtual reality

    Using relaxation approach with existing biofeedback accompanied by virtual reality relaxation

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change of Heart rate variability especially ratio of High Frequency and Low Frequency

    Time frame: Baseline, after 64minutes and 30 seconds (which means cognitive distress stimuli,Serial Seven), after 85 minutes 30 seconds (after completing biofeedback or biofeedback with virtual reality relaxation)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change of Respiration Rate

    Time frame: Baseline, after 64minutes and 30 seconds (which means cognitive distress stimuli,Serial Seven), after 85 minutes 30 seconds (after completing biofeedback or biofeedback with virtual reality relaxation)

  2. Psychological distress scale with Perceived Stress Scale 10

    Time frame: Baseline, after 64minutes and 30 seconds (which means cognitive distress stimuli,Serial Seven), after 85 minutes 30 seconds (after completing biofeedback or biofeedback with virtual reality relaxation)

  3. Visual analogue scale for motion sickness

    Time frame: Baseline, after 64minutes and 30 seconds (which means cognitive distress stimuli,Serial Seven), after 85 minutes 30 seconds (after completing biofeedback or biofeedback with virtual reality relaxation)

  4. Visual analogue scale for negative emotion

    Time frame: Baseline, after 64minutes and 30 seconds (which means cognitive distress stimuli,Serial Seven), after 85 minutes 30 seconds (after completing biofeedback or biofeedback with virtual reality relaxation)

  5. Visual analogue scale for visual fatigue

    Time frame: Baseline, after 64minutes and 30 seconds (which means cognitive distress stimuli,Serial Seven), after 85 minutes 30 seconds (after completing biofeedback or biofeedback with virtual reality relaxation)

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 8, 2016, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
