Summary

This study tested whether wearing virtual reality glasses during open inguinal hernia surgery with spinal anesthesia could lower anxiety and boost comfort. 84 patients were split into two groups: one watched a video using VR goggles during surgery, the other did not. Researchers measured anxiety and comfort levels using standard scales.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
virtual reality glasses
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to reduce anxiety and improve comfort during surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 84 participants. The results may not apply to all surgeries or patients, and the effect on anxiety might be small.
