Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the use of virtual reality therapy in dialysis patients The main question it aims to answer is Does virtual reality improve symptom burden in dialysis patients and improve their mental wellbeing Over a period of one month one virtual reality therapy session of 30 minutes will be performed during each regular hemodialysis session Since we will conduct a monocentric crossover randomized controlled trial the participants act as their own control group
Detailed Description:
Hemodialysis is a lifesaving therapy for patients with end stage kidney disease but comes with a high burden of physical and emotional symptoms that lower quality of life in dialysis patients Dialysis mediated complications such as drops in blood pressure nausea and muscle cramps results in refusal and a negative perception of this treatment In dialysis patients treatment-related burden results in deterioration in health related quality of life During the past few years Virtual reality VR has become more affordable and found its way into households as entertainment electronics but stepwise also into medicine VR enables the user to view interact and be immersed in a multisensory 3D virtual world The aim of the current study is to reduce dialysis-related burden of symptoms by using virtual reality therapy during regular dialysis sessions and thereby improve quality of life among dialysis patients
