This trial is testing whether a virtual reality headset can help make bowel screening exams easier and less stressful for people with ulcerative colitis. Patients in this study will either receive the screening with the virtual reality headset or without it. Researchers want to see if the headset reduces pain, bloating, and embarrassment during the procedure.
Bowel screening exams are essential for monitoring ulcerative colitis, but many patients find them uncomfortable and embarrassing — which discourages them from getting necessary care. This trial explores whether this treatment can make these important medical exams more tolerable.

You will come in for a routine bowel screening exam called a rectosigmoidoscopy. Half of participants will wear a virtual reality headset during the procedure to help them relax and feel less discomfort, while the other half will have the exam without the headset. After the exam, you will be asked to complete a questionnaire about your experience, including how much pain and embarrassment you felt and whether you found the exam acceptable.
