An interventional study of virtual reality intervention in Pain and Anxiety, sponsored by Cukurova University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-04.

The aim of this research is to conduct a two-group randomized controlled intervention study to determine the effect of virtual reality applications on pain and anxiety during cystoscopy. The study population will consist of patients who have applied to the urology outpatient clinic of a University Hospital for cystoscopy. The study sample will be composed of patients who volunteer to participate in the study and meet the criteria during the planned dates of the research. Data will be collected using a 'Personal Information Form' created by the researcher through a literature review, the 'Visual Analog Scale' (VAS) for assessing pain, and the 'State Anxiety Inventory' (SAI) for assessing anxiety.
2,219 studies on the registry are indexed under Pain; 917 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 65 is close to the median of 70 across 1,904 interventional studies indexed under Pain.

Exclusion Criteria:
Patients will wear virtual reality glasses 10 minutes before cystoscopy. The content chosen by the patient (there will be three options) will be watched throughout the procedure.
Other: virtual reality intervention
Standard procedure.
Patients will be shown content through the patient's virtual reality glasses throughout the cystoscopy procedure.
The effect of virtual reality applications on pain during cystoscopy
The patient's pain will be assessed using the 'Visual Analog Scale (VAS).' This scale involves marking on a 10 cm vertical or horizontal line, with one end indicating no pain at all and the other end indicating the most severe pain, to assess and measure the level of pain.
Time frame: 30 minutes after the procedure
The effect of virtual reality applications on anxiety during cystoscopy
Procedure related anxiety will be assessed using the 'State Anxiety Inventory.' This inventory consists of a total of 20 items and the scoring ranges from 20 to 80 points. The higher the total score obtained from the scale, the higher the level of anxiety experienced by the individual is interpreted.
Time frame: 30 minutes after the procedure
