The Effectiveness of Immersive Virtual Reality as a Pain Control Modality After Hip Arthroscopy
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
70 participants
Nov 1, 2023
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
1. The purpose of the research is to assess the efficacy of postoperative immersive virtual reality (iVR) compared to a standard multimodal pain regimen including opioids and a local block on acute postoperative pain management following hip arthroscopy 2. The primary research procedures are medical record review for demographic information, head-mounted immersive virtual reality experience in PACU, and pre-operative and post-operative surveys 3. The study will enroll adult patients of all ages undergoing elective hip arthroscopy procedures for any diagnosis

- Traumatic injuries undergoing emergent surgery
- Undergoing revision hip arthroscopic surgery
- Do not complete pre-operative and post-operative questionnaires
- Patients not able to undergo elective surgery
- Pregnant women
- Prisoners
- Patients with conditions that interfere with VR usage including: history of seizure or epilepsy, facial injury precluding safe placement of headset, visual impairment impacting ability to visualize VR images, hearing impairment impacting ability to follow audio instructions

Interventions
On the day of surgery, the iVR group will receive a 30-minute sessions or "dose" of iVR therapy in the ambulatory post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) during their stay. The three distraction-based or skills-based iVR modules will consist of either 1) Mindful Escape; 2) Empowered Breathing; or 3) Relaxation videos. The iVR group will be sub-randomized into receiving only one of the three types of modules. The modules will start approximately 30 minutes upon arriving in PACU and will last approximately 30 minutes.
In the ambulatory post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) during their stay with have standard postoperative pain protocol (including a pre-operative local field block).
