Summary

For a few years, publications have been published concerning the use of virtual reality headsets in the field of medicine and particularly in various specialities.

It has been evaluated in different studies on pain and anxiety in various medical situations.

A study has shown a correlation between a decrease in pain in a clinical way during a painful stimulation and a decrease in certain areas of the brain.

In this context, the use of the virtual reality headset could then be used in medical interventions that may be painful for the patient.

The lumbar radicular pain is a common disease in the world. The epidural injection is one of the treatment of this pathology. He may be performed to reduce the pain but sometimes this act is painful. Most of the time this procedure is performed without premedication.

To the knowledge of the investigators, there are currently no studies on the assessment of pain under a virtual reality headset during the performance of an epidural injection in rheumatology.

The aim of the study is to demonstrate that the Virtual Reality Headset can reduce the pain and the anxiety during an epidural injection.
