Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) has been practiced as a treatment method to remove urolithiasis from the kidneys and ureters since the early 1980s.
The process is based on the principle that the sound waves obtained from a source other than the body are turned into shock waves and sent to the stone and the stone is broken down.
Relief of pain and anxiety during ESWL; In addition to maintaining patient comfort and satisfaction, it is extremely important to reduce the movement of the patient during the procedure and to facilitate the imaging and targeting of the stone.
Diverting attention is one of the most preferred methods to reduce the pain that occurs in patients while the diagnosis and treatment procedures are carried out. This method; It is a method that focuses the attention of patients on a different point and keeps the symptoms they experience under control and reduces them.
Strategies to divert attention include the application of virtual reality, which has been one of the methods that have attracted attention in recent years.
The individual focuses his attention on the image by moving away from real life with the glasses connected to the device worn on his head and the sounds coming from the headphones and feels as if he is in a different world thanks to these glasses.
In practice, it is aimed to reduce the patient's pain, discomfort and anxiety by drawing the patient's attention from pain and painful treatment procedures to a fun virtual environment.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
control group
The routine ESWL procedure will be applied. Pre-procedural anxieties will be evaluated with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Anxiety Scale. After the ESWL procedure, their anxiety will be re-evaluated with the same scale, and their pain will also be evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale.
No interventions assigned to this group
virtual reality group
The pre-procedure anxiety of the patients who will use virtual reality glasses during the ESWL process will be evaluated with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Anxiety Score. After the ESWL procedure, their anxiety will be re-evaluated with the same scale and in addition to the pain, the pain will be evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale.
virtual reality
patients who include intervention gruop during the ESWL process, patients will be shown videos with virtual reality glasses, which include nature and landscapes, giving people a feeling of comfort and peace, and making them feel like they are inside.
