On the effectiveness of virtual reality technology for relaxation of locomotive crew workers

Reducing the risks of occupational stress requires improving the methods of psychological support for employees of locomotive crews. Virtual reality technology offers restorative measures comparable to traditional techniques. The study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the impact of virtual reality technology on the basis of the analysis of the psycho-emotional state of employees of locomotive crews before and after rehabilitation measures; to evaluate the ratio of stress biomarkers before and after exposure to classical and technical techniques; to compare the effectiveness of psychological influence carried out by various methods. The scientists conducted a survey and diagnosis of the functional state of locomotive crew workers, followed by rehabilitation measures using various methods. The specialists performed a saliva analysis based on the concentration levels of cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone. 120 people took part in the study, of which: 60 people according to the classical program and 60 people according to the virtual reality program, of which 15 people are at risk according to psychophysiological indicators. The session lasted 21 minutes. The average age of employees of locomotive crews participating in the study was 35.4 years. 88% of the subjects underwent functional state diagnostics and a full course of relaxation sessions in virtual reality. Of these, 73% have improved psychophysiological indicators: response accuracy, increased neuropsychiatric stability, and decreased anxiety levels. The authors noted calmness, improved mood and relief of muscle tension. 60% of the employees have completed a full course of rehabilitation measures using classical techniques. Of these, 70% have an improvement in their functional state according to certain parameters. There is a decrease in cortisol levels (unit of measurement — nanograms per milliliter) from 6.75 ng/ml to 6.28 ng/ml with a simultaneous increase in dehydroepiadrosterone levels (unit of measurement — micrograms per milliliter) from 0.53 mcg/100 ml to 1.77 mcg/100 ml, which corresponds to a decrease in the overall stress level. The analysis of the obtained results showed sufficient effectiveness of virtual methods comparable to classical approaches to relaxation. Immersive technologies more effectively activate natural compensatory mechanisms by expanding the individual regulatory capabilities of the nervous system. Scientists have identified areas for improving the latest methods of rehabilitation measures in order to correct the functional condition of locomotive crews. Limitations.

P-466 The effect of Virtual Reality technology (VR) during oocyte pick up (OPU) in 100 IVF/ICSI patients - A randomised controlled trial (RCT)

Abstract Study question Does VR technology improve patient experience in terms of nervousness, nausea, pain, and total experience as well as consumption of painkillers during the OPU procedure? Summary answer The use of VR technology seems to have a positive influence on patient experience during OPU. No effect was seen regarding consumption of painkillers. What is known already In recent years, the VR technology has received increasing attention for its suggested calming and pain-relieving effect during medical procedures. Thus, a previous study using VR technology in women undergoing hysteroscopy showed a significant difference in anxiety compared to women not using VR. We previously performed a small pilot study in patients undergoing OPU. That study suggested that VR technology had a positive effect on patients before OPU in terms of level of relaxation and stress. Importantly, in the pilot project patients solely used the VR technology before the OPU procedure. Study design, size, duration This RCT included a cohort of 100 IVF/ICSI patients undergoing OPU. Patients were computer randomized into two groups: an intervention group (VR) and a control group (no VR) during OPU. Randomization was performed on the day of ovulation induction. The study was conducted from April 2023 to December 2023 in a public university affiliated fertility clinic. Participants/materials, setting, methods 10 minutes before the OPU procedure the VR headset was placed and remained in place during OPU in the intervention group. The control group was treated according to the standard procedure of the unit. Both groups answered a questionnaire, including 14 questions using VAS (Visual Analog Scale) before and after OPU regarding nervousness, nausea, pain and total experience. Moreover, blood pressure, heart rate, saturation, and consumption of medication was recorded. Main results and the role of chance The study showed that the use of VR technology in women undergoing OPU significantly (P = 0.01) lowered the patient’s systolic blood pressure before the procedure. Moreover, the study showed a trend towards a reduction in nervousness and consumption of painkillers. The comments of the patients regarding their total experience of the effect of VR were in favour of VR usage and several patients would choose VR technology for a possible future OPU. Limitations, reasons for caution The patient experience might have differed if the same nurse participated during all the OPUs. To find a possible significant effect of VR usage as regards nervousness and consumption of painkillers a future larger sample size is required. Wider implications of the findings The use of VR technology during OPU might be considered as a supplement for patients during OPU. Trial registration number NCT05826938

The effect of virtual reality technology in exercise and lung function of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a serious chronic disease worldwide, with significant negative impacts on the quality of life, family economic burden, and social healthcare burden of patients. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of virtual reality technology on exercise function and lung function in COPD patients. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was utilized. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Medline, Scopus, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, Weipu Database (VIP), and Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM) were systematically searched. We included randomized controlled trials published from the establishment of the database to August 10, 2022, on virtual reality technology in COPD patients. Literature retrieval and screening was carried out independently by two reviewers to obtain literature that met our inclusion and exclusion criteria and to extract relevant data. Two reviewers assessed the risk of bias in the included literature. A meta-analysis was performed using Revman 5.4 Software. A total of 10 randomized controlled trials with 539 participants were included. The results showed that virtual reality technology significantly improved the lung function of COPD patients, such as forced expiratory volume (FEV1; MD = 7.29, 95% CI [4.34, 10.24], p < .01) and forced expiratory volume/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC; MD = 6.71, 95% CI [4.72, 8.71], p < .01). The combined intervention with different virtual reality technology had different effects on motor function. Compared with endurance training (ET) alone, virtual reality technology combined with ET had no significant effect on the 6-minute walk test (6WMT) in COPD patients (p > .05). Compared with pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) alone, virtual reality technology combined with PR was more effective in increasing 6WMT in COPD patients (MD = 30.80, 95% CI [10.85, 50.74], p < .01). Virtual reality technology can help to improve lung function in COPD patients, and virtual reality combined with PR can improve exercise tolerance in COPD patients. However, due to the limited number of included studies, large-sample, multicenter, high-quality randomized controlled trial studies are needed to provide clear evidence.
