Summary

"This trial aims to see if virtual reality can help improve symptoms in people with non-cardiac chest pain."

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with non-cardiac chest pain who've had tests to rule out severe esophagus issues and heart problems. They shouldn't have started new acid reflux medication recently, have major illnesses, substance abuse issues, or vertigo that would make using VR hard.
What is being tested?
The study is testing if virtual reality can help ease chest pain that's not related to the heart. Participants will use a VR headset as part of the treatment to see if it improves their symptoms.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves virtual reality, side effects may include temporary discomfort like headaches or eye strain from the headset, and possibly nausea or dizziness especially in those prone to motion sickness.
