Doctors experimented with gaming VR headsets in an ER, finding that "a few minutes in a peaceful virtual forest while listening to Mozart" can help lower blood pressure and anxiety for patients

Emergency medicine specialists at Ankaha Bilkent City Hospital in Turkey have conducted a study using VR headsets and classical music to reduce patient anxiety and blood pressure. Patients in the study group experienced a 12%-15% drop in anxiety and blood pressure compared to a control group receiving only standard medication.
