Brief summary (from the registry)
This is a prospective, single-arm, pre-post interventional study designed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and impact of immersive virtual reality (VR) as an adjunct to tumescent local anesthesia during endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) for varicose veins / chronic venous insufficiency. All eligible and consenting participants will receive the same intervention (immersive VR during the entire EVLA procedure). There is no randomization, no control group, and no allocation to different arms. Each participant serves as their own control through before-and-after comparisons
