简要总结
The goal of this randomized trial is to investigate if using virtual reality (VR) glasses for patients who require non-emergent oral surgery procedures under intravenous (IV) sedation improves their overall experience compared to using standard of care safety glasses.
This study has two primary objectives.
- To evaluate if VR glasses can improve patient tolerance during IV access, sedation induction, and the surgical procedure.
- To investigate whether the use of VR glasses reduces the amount of sedation required for induction and throughout the oral surgery procedure.
80 subjects will be randomly assigned 1:1 to either wear VR glasses playing a relaxing video and audio or VR glasses that will only serve as eye protection (control group).

研究组 & 干预措施
Virtual Reality (VR) Intervention Group
Participants randomized to this group will receive VR glasses with a relaxation module (audio, visual) to wear during IV placement, induction of anesthesia, and during the procedure.
干预措施: Virtual reality (VR) glasses with relaxation module
Virtual Reality (VR) Control Group
Participants randomized to this group will receive VR glasses without a relaxation module to be worn only as safety glasses, during IV placement, induction of anesthesia, and during the procedure.
结局指标
主要结局
Level of anxiety
时间窗: 3 days before oral surgery, immediately before surgery, immediately after surgery, about 8 hours after surgery
Scores from the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) will be used to assess the level of anxiety. It is a 7-item instrument with each item scored from 0=Not at all to 3=Nearly every day. GAD-7 total scores for the can range from 0 to 21 with higher scores suggesting more anxiety. The scores are interpreted as 0-4: minimal anxiety, 5-9: mild anxiety, 10-14: moderate anxiety, and 15-21: severe anxiety.
Level of depression
时间窗: 3 days before oral surgery, immediately before surgery, immediately after surgery, about 8 hours after surgery
Scores from the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) will be used to assess the level of depression. It is a 9-item depression screening tool with each item scored from 0=Not at all to 3=Nearly every day. Scores can range from 0 to 27, with higher scores suggesting more depression. The scores are interpreted as 0-4: None or minimal depression, 5-9: Mild depression, 10-14: Moderate depression, 15-19: Moderately severe depression, and 20-27: Severe depression.
