Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Virtual Reality Post Spinal Fusion
Patients randomized to the VR group will have the opportunity to utilize VR during the post operative period, and will also experience VR during research visits each day following surgery.
Virtual Reality
Participants randomized to the VR condition will experience an an immersive guided relaxation VR experience during research visits in the post-operative period. They will also have the opportunity to choose additional VR games and relaxation experiences during their inpatient stay.
Standard of Care
Patients randomized to the non-VR condition will experience the usual standard of care following spinal fusion surgery. This will include 15-30 minutes of movie viewing during research visits.
No interventions assigned to this group
