Summary

Virtual reality has been used for acute pain management (burn patients) with positive results. Hypnosis has known beneficial effects on patients in the peri-operative setting. The investigators are combining both by giving a virtual reality hypnosis (VRH) session to the patients during a known painful post-operative moment. (physiotherapy) It is the investigator intention to compare pain after physiotherapy during the first 3 days after a total knee arthroplasty, between 2 groups. One group , the VR group gets standard treatment with VRH and the second, the sham group, gets standard treatment with a sham VR session.
