Summary
This study tested whether using virtual reality (VR) before and after surgery could help teenagers with pectus excavatum (a sunken chest) feel less anxious and have less pain. Fifty teens aged 13-18 took part. Researchers measured their anxiety with a standard questionnaire and tracked their pain levels and vital signs. The goal was to see if VR could be a simple, drug-free way to improve the surgical experience.
