Sponsor's own description
Immersion sedation in virtual reality could be an alternative to conventional pharmacological sedation, during interventional cardiology acts on pain and anxiety control. The objective of this study is to determine whether virtual reality immersion is non-inferior to drug sedation on pain and anxiety, during coronary angiography or angioplasty.
