Effect of Virtual Reality on the Need of Premedication Before Surgery

This trial is testing whether virtual reality (VR) — wearing a headset that immerses you in a calming virtual environment — can reduce the need for anti-anxiety or sedative medications (premedication) that patients often request before surgery.
