Summary
This study tested whether using virtual reality (VR) before and after surgery could help teenagers feel less anxious and have less pain. Fifty teens having chest surgery for a condition called pectus excavatum took part. The researchers measured anxiety with a standard questionnaire and pain with a simple 0-to-10 scale. The goal was to see if VR could be a helpful, drug-free way to improve the surgical experience.
