Evaluation of the Impact of Virtual Reality on Sedation Use in Patients Undergoing Regional Anesthesia for Scheduled Orthopedic Surgery

This study is exploring whether virtual reality (VR) can reduce the need for sedation medications during arm or leg surgery performed under regional (local) anesthesia — where you are awake but the limb is numbed. Researchers think VR may help patients stay calm and comfortable without as many drugs. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 years old or older - You are scheduled for planned (non-emergency) orthopedic surgery on your arm or leg - You will be receiving a regional nerve block (local anesthesia) for your surgery **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have psychiatric or cognitive conditions that make communication difficult - You have had premedication before arriving in the operating room - You cannot understand the study due to a language barrier or psychological issues - Your surgery is an emergency - VR equipment would interfere with the surgical or anesthetic procedure Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
