This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing two simple comfort techniques—virtual reality with nature scenes and relaxing music, or a handheld stress ball—to see if either one helps reduce fear, anxiety, and pain during ureterorenoscopy, a procedure used to remove kidney stones. Researchers want to find out which approach (if any) helps patients feel calmer and more satisfied with their care.
Many patients feel anxious and afraid before procedures like this one. Doctors are looking for safe, non-medication ways to help patients stay calm and feel better during and after their treatment.

When you arrive at the clinic for your procedure, you'll complete some brief questionnaires about your anxiety and fears. Then, depending on which group you're assigned to, you'll either watch relaxing nature scenes through a virtual reality headset with calming music, or you'll squeeze a stress ball while waiting, or you'll receive standard care. After your procedure, you'll complete follow-up questionnaires to measure how you felt throughout the experience.
