NCT07493863 - Feasibility and Ergonomic Impact of A Virtual Reality Headset in Endoscopic Procedures | Crick

Overview

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of using a virtual reality headset (VRH) during endoscopy and its impact on the endoscopist ergonomics. We will use the Apple Vision Pro during approximately 140 endoscopic procedures during which ergonomics will be assessed.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Risk Reduction of endoscopy related musculoskeletal injury by VRH as assessed by rapid entire body assessment (REBA) score.

The REBA score is an ergonomic assessment tool used to identify potential risks of musculoskeletal disorders in the workplace by evaluating posture and movements. The score ranges from 0-15 with 0 being the lowest risk and 15 being the highest risk. A two point decrease pre-intervention will be considered significant.

Time frame: From the start until the end of an endoscopic procedure.

Secondary Outcomes

Endoscopist experience with VRH assess via subjective survey scored on a 5-point Likert scale.

The survey includes six questions on ergonomics, technical feasibility, visual clarity, workflow, mental demands, and overall experience. Each question is scored 1-5 with the higher score being outcome.

Time frame: From the start until the end of an endoscopic procedure.

Risk reduction of endoscopic related musculoskeletal injury in specific subgroups (colonoscopy, EUS, ERCP) by VRH as assessed by rapid entire body assessment (REBA) score.
