Summary
This study tests whether watching an educational animation through virtual reality goggles before knee replacement surgery can lower patients' fear and pain. Half of the 70 participants will get the VR lesson, while the other half receives standard teaching. Researchers will measure fear, pain levels, and satisfaction to see if the VR approach helps.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help patients feel less scared and have less pain before and after knee replacement surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 70 people. The VR education may not reduce fear or pain more than standard teaching, and results may not apply to all patients.
