Study of the Benefits of Virtual Reality Headsets for Reducing Anxiety in Patients Treated for Pleural Effusion or Pneumothorax Using Small-bore Chest Drainage Tubes (eSEDATION) 38 Virtual

Active, not recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07206940 (eSEDATION) is an interventional study for Pneumothorax, Pleural Effusion, Drainage of Liquor that is active, not recruiting. It started on 27 November 2025 with plans to enroll 38 participants. Led by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice, it is expected to complete by 1 May 2027. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 31 December 2025.
Brief Summary
Pleural effusion and pneumothorax are common conditions encountered in pulmonology departments and may require chest drainage. However, the chest drainage procedure can cause anxiety in patients, leading to discomfort during the procedure. The use of virtual reality (VR) for anxiety reduction has shown promising results in various medical contexts.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Pain assessment with or without VR headset based on heart rate
Heart rate will be used to assess the patient's pain. A heart rate between 55 and 85 beats per minute is normal.
18 months
Pain assessment with or without VR headset based on respiratory rate
Respiratory rate will be used to assess the patient's pain. A respiratory rate of 12 to 20 cycles per minute is normal.
18 months
Patient satisfaction
The evaluation will be based on the following question asked to the patient: "Are you satisfied overall with how the procedure went?" Possible answers: Yes/No.
18 months
