Summary
This study tested whether wearing virtual reality (VR) glasses during open inguinal hernia surgery (done with spinal anesthesia) can lower patients' anxiety and increase their comfort. 84 adults were split into two groups: one watched a video with VR goggles during the operation, the other did not. Researchers measured anxiety and comfort levels using standard scales to see if the VR group felt better.
