Summary

This study tests whether watching an educational video before surgery, plus using virtual reality (a 360° forest walk) or listening to music during the procedure, can lower anxiety and pain for people having ingrown toenail surgery. About 175 adults will be split into three groups: one using VR, one using music, and one receiving standard care. The goal is to find simple, non-drug ways to make the experience less stressful.
