Official title
Exploring Virtual Reality as a Clinical Tool for Blood Pressure Reduction and Assessment of White Coat Hypertension/Effect: A Pre- and Post-Intervention Study With ABPM Validation
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This clinical trial aims to evaluate whether a calming virtual reality (VR) experience can reduce office blood pressure (OBP) and anxiety in adults undergoing ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) at Mayo Clinic in Florida. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does a 5-minute calming VR session reduce office blood pressure in patients with suspected white coat hypertension or white coat effect? 2. Does VR exposure reduce self-reported anxiety levels in the clinical setting? 3. Does VR reduce the difference between home (ABPM) and clinic blood pressure readings? Participants will: 1. Complete two short electronic surveys (before and after VR exposure) on a clinic-provided device. 2. Undergo a 5-minute virtual reality (VR) relaxation session. 3. Have their blood pressure measured before and after the VR session. Participation will occur during the participant's scheduled ABPM device return visit and will add approximately 30 minutes to the visit. This is a single-arm, pre-post interventional study where each participant serves as their own control.
