Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to evaluate Virtual reality (VR) on perioperative anxiety, pain, hemodynamics, and stress hormones in patients undergoing Total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Detailed Description

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

VR is a computer technology that provides the feeling of being immersed in a simulated three-dimensional (3D) world where the user may interact with the virtual environment. Clinical studies have shown that VR technology is effective in reducing pain perception and anxiety. It has also been proposed as an effective non-pharmacological alternative for reducing acute procedural pain and providing anxiety relief.
