Sponsor's own description

By means of an investigator-initiated, monocentric, single-blinded, prospective, randomized controlled superiority trial, the effect of virtual reality (VR) therapy on patients undergoing ambulatory hand surgery under ultrasound-guided regional nerve block will be investigated. It is hypothesized that the usage of VR during the placement of the nerve block in ambulatory hand surgery patients provides a significant decrease in pain score during anesthesia compared to without VR glasses. Additionally, an objective stress related parameter (HRV), anxiety, VR experience (immersion and presence), adverse effects and patient satisfaction are evaluated before anesthesia, during anesthesia and surgery or after surgery through validated questionnaires or measurements.
