Indications

POSSIBLE INTERVENTIONS

BEFORE/DURING/AFTER INTERVENTION

To reduce the patient's (and the accompanying person's) pre-operative anxiety
To use only non-pharmacological anxiolysis or to reduce the consumption of associated anxiolytics
To favour, if possible, a loco-regional rather than a general anaesthesia
To minimise the potential negative effects of the upcoming procedure
To reduce the patient's post-procedure anxiety and pain
To accelerate the patient's recovery and help prevent the onset of chronic pain
To reduce the intensity of symptoms encountered in the intensive care unit (discomfort, pain, anxiety, insomnia etc.)

Effectiveness of virtual reality in reducing anxiety and pain during paediatric idiopathic scoliosis surgery, SFAR 2021.

L. Merliot‐Gailhoustet, et al.

Results : HEALTHY-MIND© was associated with a significant decrease in global discomfort, the primary endpoint (median NRS=4[2-6] vs. 2[0-5]; p=0.01, mixed model), accompanied by a significant decrease in stress response (increase in ANI, secondary endpoint; p<0.01). HEALTHY-MIND© was also associated with a reduction in pain intensity and anxiety by 0.8 points compared to standard relaxation (p=0.001 and 0.004, respectively). N=60

Virtual reality for pain management in hospital patients, Public Library of Science, 2019

B. Spiegel, et al.

Results: Shapiro-Wilk test used (p=0.19). A T-test showed that the mean difference was significant in favour of VR (p<0.04). Restricting to the subgroup of patients with the most severe baseline pain (≥7 points; N=54), the effect of VR was more pronounced compared to control (-3.04, SD 3.75 vs -0.93 points, SD 2.16; P=0.02). Age was also a significant predictor in this multivariable model, with each additional 10 years of age predicting a 0.6 point reduction in pain (p=0.001). N=120
