Compares treatment options for Nerve Block
Official title Self-Guided Immersive Virtual Reality Versus Mannequin-based Simulators to Teach the Ultrasound-Guided Supra-Inguinal Fascia Iliaca Block
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07035015
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This research project aims to see if using immersive virtual reality (iVR) is as good as using traditional mannequins to teach medical staff how to perform a specific nerve block called an ultrasound-guided supra-inguinal fascia iliaca (SIFI) block. This nerve block is important for managing pain in patients with hip fractures, as it can improve recovery, shorten hospital stays, and reduce healthcare costs.
