Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to obtain feedback from patients and orthopedic surgeons who agree to use virtual reality (VR ) as an adjunct to standard of care in orthopedic cases under regional or central neuraxial nerve block. This will serve as a preliminary study for future trials to compare outcomes between VR and standard of care vs standard of care only.
