Study Comparing Virtual Reality Hypnosis and PSIO Glasses for Reducing Preoperative Anxiety in Orthopedic Surgery Adults

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate ways to reduce preoperative anxiety in adult orthopedic patients undergoing surgery with general anesthesia. High anxiety before surgery can lead to poor sleep, increased pain after surgery, and more use of painkillers. Since there are no current standard recommendations to prevent this anxiety, the study compares two relaxation methods to help improve patient well-being before their operation. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups a 20-minute virtual reality hypnosis session using the HypnoVR headset, a 20-minute relaxation session with PSiO glasses that provide light therapy and music, or a 20-minute waiting period without any relaxation tool. Both devices aim to induce relaxation through visual and auditory experiences tailored to the patient. During the study, researchers will monitor changes in anxiety using the APAIS scale, and track physiological signs such as heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels. They will also record the amount of anesthesia used, time spent in the recovery room, and pain levels. These assessments occur within one hour after the relaxation or waiting session to evaluate the effects on preoperative anxiety and related outcomes.
