An interventional study of virtual reality in Fractures, sponsored by Mayo Clinic. Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-05-05.
Sponsored by Mayo Clinic · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The primary aim of this research is to show that a virtual reality (VR) service line is feasible and can sustain itself with the ability to take care of patients. Additionally, the investigators aim to learn about the limitations of a service line and provide a pathway for future improvements in building a VR service line that is optimally aligned with the user's needs. Secondary aims are to evaluate the clinical aspects of the patient's outcomes including length of stay, morphine equivalents in pain medicine required during the hospital stay, and user experiences.

Started Apr 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jan 2028, 21 months after the start.
Of 148 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Fractures, Bone, half reached primary completion within 29 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 57. This study's planned 21 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 166 studies reached it within 29 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 57.
