In contemporary medicine, endoscopic procedures are often regarded as the gold standard for the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal illnesses due to the essential role they play in these processes. Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows direct visualization of the gastrointestinal tract using a flexible, camera-equipped instrument.However, due to their invasive nature, these methods pose certain challenges for both healthcare professionals and patients. In particular, the physical discomfort and pain experienced during the procedure can lead to a negative attitude toward the process in patients, which can indirectly affect the success of the procedure .Despite the fact that a number of studies have examined the impact of virtual reality applications on pain and anxiety during endoscopy, the conclusions remain inconsistent. Moreover, relatively few studies have assessed physiological signs of anxiety. Therefore, uncertainties remain regarding the generalizability of existing findings. The present study aimed to examine the effect of virtual reality application on pain, anxiety, and physiological parameters in patients undergoing endoscopy.
4,868 studies on the registry are indexed under Anxiety Disorders; 1,390 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 78 is close to the median of 80 across 4,174 interventional studies indexed under Anxiety Disorders.

Eligible individuals were adults aged 18 or older, capable of effective communication, and scheduled for non-sedated oral gastroduodenoscopy (OGD).
Exclusion criteria included emergency endoscopy, neurological conditions (e.g., migraine, vertigo, chronic headaches), or sensory impairments affecting hearing or vision.

Visual Analog Scale
Visual Analog Scale is used to convert some values that cannot be measured numerically into digital. Two end definitions of the parameter to be evaluated are written at the two ends of a 100 mm line and the patient is asked to indicate where on this line their situation is appropriate by drawing a line or by placing a dot or pointing.0 points means no pain, 100 points means a lot of pain
Time frame: 1 hours later
Anxiety Assessment Scale
Patients will be asked to show their anxiety levels before and after the procedure on a 10 cm long horizontal line. Line has 0 at the beginning and 10 at the end. 10 means very extreme anxiety and 0 means no anxiety.
Time frame: 1 hours later
Physiological Symptoms of Anxiety Follow-up Form
This form was created by the researcher to record blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and peripheral oxygen saturation value.
Time frame: 1 hours later
