Summary
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) can reduce anxiety and pain in children aged 7 to 12 during minor orthopedic surgery. Half the children will use a VR headset with calming environments before and during surgery, while the other half receives standard sedative medication. Researchers will measure anxiety, stress hormones, pain levels, and satisfaction to see if VR offers a better experience.
