Uitkomstmaten
Primaire uitkomstmaten
The primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate the effect of VR on pain sensation as measured with the NRS for pain after orthopeadic hip and knee arthroplasty compared to standard care .
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Rationale
Lack of postoperative acute pain management is associated with increased morbidity, longer recovery time, more opioid use and subsequently increased health care costs. There is increasing evidence virtual reality (VR) is effective in the reduction of acute pain.
Objective
The aim of this study is to determine whether VR used during hospitalization period for elective orthopedic surgery will decrease pain scores after surgery and mobilization.
Study design
A prospective randomized -controlled trial.
Study population
Eligible patients receive elective orthopedic surgery under spinal anesthesia (total hip or total knee replacement) in the Zuyderland Medical Centre location Sittard-Geleen.
Intervention
The intervention group can choose for an immersive guided relaxation VR experience or an interactive VR experience during the pre- and postoperative period.
Comparison
The standard care- group will receive the usual standard care pre-and postoperatively.
Main study parameters/endpoints
The primary outcome is postoperative pain measured on a numeric rating scale (NRS). To improve the mean NRS for pain after surgery with 15 mm with a standard deviation of 20mm (alpha 0.05 and beta 0.20) and taken 10% lost to follow up into account, a total of 30 patients have to be included in each group. And a total of 60 patients will have to be included in the study.
Doel van het onderzoek
Our hypothesis is that VR (intervention) will significantly improve the mean NRS for pain after surgery.
Onderzoeksopzet
Pre-operative: 1 hour before OR
Post-operative (twice): ~2-4 hours post OR and 6 weeks post OR
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
The intervention group can choose for an immersive guided relaxation VR experience or an interactive VR experience during the pre- and postoperative period.
