Tokyo, Oct. 18 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000059448) titled 'A Study on the Stress-Relieving Effects of Green VR Environments: A Volunteer Study' on Oct. 18.
Study Type:
Interventional
Study Design:
Basic Design - Single arm
Randomization - Non-randomized
Blinding - Open -no one is blinded
Control - Self control
Primary Sponsor:
Institute - KANAGAWA DENTAL UNIVERSITY
Condition:
Condition - Dental Anesthesiology
Classification by malignancy - Others
Genomic information - NO
Objective:
Narrative objectives1 - Previously, VR incorporating green hues has demonstrated the potential to suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and reduce stress. Activation of the HPA axis leads to cortisol secretion. Cortisol increases sensitivity to vasoconstrictors (such as noradrenaline and angiotensin II) and elevates peripheral vascular resistance by suppressing the production of vasodilators like nitric oxide (NO). Therefore, this study hypothesises that VR incorporating green may suppress cortisol production and thereby inhibit peripheral vascular resistance, leading to the implementation of the research described below.
Basic objectives2 - Others
Intervention:
Interventions/Control_1 - This study is a cohort study involving stress loading on the same subjects, with measurements of each parameter taken before and after exposure to a green VR environment.
