Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators perform lots of interventions for patients. But unfortunately, patients cannot help being exposed to the acute pain and fear during the interventions. "Virtual Reality(VR)" is a state-of-art advanced technology, which is now being extended to various medical fields such as pain management, dental treatment, body rehabilitation and cancer pain. There is no study that have conjugated the virtual reality experience for patients' acute pain and anxiety which occurs during the pain interventions. So the investigators like to evaluate the effects of virtual reality experience on acute pain and anxiety precipitated by the pain interventions.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Virtual reality group

* After experiencing the VR machine in the transfer bed for 5 minutes, the subject moves to the operating room.
* After the subject moves to the surgical bed, he/she takes the appropriate position for the fluoroscopic pain intervention, and wears the virtual reality device (headset, headphone, smartphone).
* After the subject starts the VR program, the practitioner starts the fluoroscopic pain intervention.
* Lidocaine skin infiltration and description of the practitioner during the intervention are performed with the intervention when necessary.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Virtual reality group

Intervention Type DEVICE

Virtual reality group The study intervention is to provide acute pain management for the subject undergoing fluoroscopic pain intervention by using the virtual reality program provided by the collaborator through virtual reality device (headset, headphone, and smartphone) that are commercialized on the market.

Conventional group

The fluoroscopic pain intervention is performed using only local anesthetics and description of the practitioner during the intervention as in the conventional cases.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
