Feasibility and Ergonomic Impact of A Virtual Reality Headset in Endoscopic Procedures 140 Virtual

Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07493863 is an interventional study for Ergonomics, Virtual Reality Headset, Virtual Reality, Endoscopy that is recruiting. It started on 10 March 2026 with plans to enroll 140 participants. Led by The Cleveland Clinic, it is expected to complete by 1 December 2026. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 25 March 2026.
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of using a virtual reality headset (VRH) during endoscopy and its impact on the endoscopist ergonomics. We will use the Apple Vision Pro during approximately 140 endoscopic procedures during which ergonomics will be assessed.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Risk Reduction of endoscopy related musculoskeletal injury by VRH as assessed by rapid entire body assessment (REBA) score.
The REBA score is an ergonomic assessment tool used to identify potential risks of musculoskeletal disorders in the workplace by evaluating posture and movements. The score ranges from 0-15 with 0 being the lowest risk and 15 being the highest risk. A two point decrease pre-intervention will be considered significant.
From the start until the end of an endoscopic procedure.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Endoscopist experience with VRH assess via subjective survey scored on a 5-point Likert scale.
The survey includes six questions on ergonomics, technical feasibility, visual clarity, workflow, mental demands, and overall experience. Each question is scored 1-5 with the higher score being outcome.
From the start until the end of an endoscopic procedure.
Risk reduction of endoscopic related musculoskeletal injury in specific subgroups (colonoscopy, EUS, ERCP) by VRH as assessed by rapid entire body assessment (REBA) score.
The REBA score is an ergonomic assessment tool used to identify potential risks of musculoskeletal disorders in the workplace by evaluating posture and movements. The score ranges from 0-15 with 0 being the lowest risk and 15 being the highest risk. A two point decrease pre-intervention will be considered significant.
