Virtual Reality for Postoperative Pain After Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

NCT03851042 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2021-09-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients will be randomized to either receive virtual reality headsets in the post anesthesia recovery unit (PACU) as an adjunct therapy or undergo routine postoperative management. Pain scores will be recorded at standardized intervals in the PACU. The patient will be asked to complete a survey at their two week post op visit assessing their satisfaction with their post op recovery.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a virtual reality relaxation program used in the immediate postoperative period after laparoscopic hysterectomy will decrease pain scores and reduce both oral and intravenous opioid consumption.
