Interventions
The VR software developed allows patients to select from scenery such as mountains, the beach or from a selection of short videos, which are intended to promote relaxation.
A study team member will play from a library of music or other audible content (audiobook, podcast) that was preselected by the patient.
Subjects will wear VR headsets and headphones but will not view any content or listen to any audible content.
