Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Patient self-reported history of nephrolithiasis
  2. * Subjective history suggesting that current presentation is similar to past presentations of nephrolithiasis (character, quality, location, intensity of pain; previous surgical intervention or lithotripsy)
  3. * Patients with self-reported moderate to severe pain on the visual pain scale determined as greater than 5/10
  4. * Normal vital signs (afebrile)
  5. * Agreeable to informed consent as dictated by IRB and local practice
  6. * No contraindications to standard therapy (ie fluids, NSAIDs, opioids, etc.)
  7. * Compliance with the virtual reality treatment
  8. * Keeps the headset on for the duration of the experience
  9. * Understands the instructions
  1. * Age \< 18 years
  2. * Pregnant
  3. * Individuals with chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia (chronic pain may confound results, as patients may have higher than baseline pain levels affecting their response to medications)
  4. * Individuals with severe anxiety or claustrophobia
  5. * Individuals with severe motion sickness or previous episodes of motion sickness due to VR (those who may not react well to the VR experience)
  6. * Individuals with GFR\<60 or previous documented diagnosis of CKD as they may not be suitable candidate for traditional analgesia
  7. * Individuals with previous opioid dependence
  8. * Requirement of immediate surgery (obstructing calculi with concomitant urinary tract infection)
  9. * Patients with diagnoses meeting admission criteria (sepsis, MI)
  10. * Audio/visual impairment (unable to appreciate stimuli provided by the headset)
  11. * Patients administered opiates as the first line pain control medication will not be included in final data collection, as opioid administration may result in difficulty consenting and understanding the study protocol / design
