Effect of Virtual Reality on Agitation in Acute Stroke

23 augusti 2026 uppdaterad av: Nazlı Can Denizhan, Ankara Etlik City Hospital

The Effect of Virtual Reality Application on Agitation in Individuals With Acute Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Single-Blind Study

This randomized controlled, single-blind study evaluates the effect of a Virtual Reality (VR) application on agitation levels and physiological vital signs in patients with acute stroke. Participants are randomly assigned to an intervention group receiving standard clinical care plus structured VR sessions, or a control group receiving standard clinical care alone. Agitation scores and vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation) are measured pre- and post-intervention to evaluate the outcomes of VR therapy.

Detaljerad beskrivning

Stroke is a sudden medical condition that affects the brain. During the acute phase of a stroke, many patients experience agitation, which means feeling restless, anxious, or uncooperative. Agitation can complicate medical care and negatively affect a patient's recovery and vital signs (such as heart rate and blood pressure).

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate whether using a Virtual Reality (VR) application helps reduce agitation levels and stabilize vital signs in individuals who have experienced an acute stroke.

This is a randomized controlled, single-blind clinical trial. Participants with acute stroke will be randomly assigned to one of two groups:

Intervention Group: Participants will receive a structured Virtual Reality (VR) application session in addition to their routine stroke care.

Control Group: Participants will receive standard routine clinical care and monitoring without the VR application.

Researchers will measure and compare the participants' agitation levels using a clinical evaluation scale before and after the intervention. In addition, physiological vital signs (including heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation) will be closely monitored to determine the effects of the VR therapy.
