Summary

Preoperative anxiety and acute post-operative pain are common and have been associated with the development of chronic post-surgical pain and longer hospitalisation. Pharmacological interventions to combat anxiety and pain come with their attendant adverse effects. Therefore, non-pharmacological strategies- Virtual Reality (VR) has gained popularity to improve overall the perioperative experience for patients.

Our overall aim is to develop and evaluate the use of a VR-based prototype to reduce pre-operative anxiety and post-operative acute pain intensity in our local patient population. Our primary aim is to reduce preoperative anxiety as measured by a reduction in Visual Analogue Score-Anxiety (VAS-A) by a mean of 2.5 points pre-post VR intervention. Our secondary aims are to reduce post-operative acute pain and to achieve more than 50% good to excellent self-reported satisfaction on our VR prototype.
