Therapeutic Virtual Reality: Helps Reduce Anxiety and Pain During Bronchial Fibroscopies in Lung Transplant Patients.

Marie Lannelongue Hospital is a hospital specialized in lung transplantation. Lung transplant patients require regular check-ups by bronchial fibroscopy. This examination is known to be anxious, stressful and sometimes painful. These patients take many medications (immunosuppressants, antibiotics....) that may interact with analgesic or anxiolytic drugs. The objective is to propose to HML lung transplant patients a virtual reality solution containing visual and auditory 3D experiences to fight against anxiety and pain during repetitive and anxiogenic examinations such as bronchial fibroscopies.
