简要总结
Hip and knee replacement surgery is commonly performed in older adults. After surgery, many patients experience pain, limited movement, and sleep problems. These difficulties can make daily activities such as walking or climbing stairs more challenging and may reduce quality of life during recovery.
Relaxation exercises are often used to help reduce pain and improve sleep after surgery. Virtual reality (VR) is a technology that provides a multisensory experience and may help people relax by shifting their attention away from pain and discomfort.
This study is designed to compare two different relaxation approaches used after hip and knee replacement surgery. One group of patients will perform relaxation exercises using virtual reality, while another group will perform traditional relaxation exercises. The study will examine pain levels and sleep quality in both groups.
The results of this study may help to better understand whether virtual reality-based relaxation can be used as an alternative or supportive method for managing pain and sleep problems after joint replacement surgery.

研究组 & 干预措施
Virtual Reality-Based Relaxation Group
Participants receive relaxation exercises delivered through virtual reality technology following hip and knee replacement surgery. The intervention is provided during the postoperative period in addition to standard care.
干预措施: Virtual Reality-Based Relaxation (Behavioral)
Traditional Relaxation Therapy Group
Participants receive traditional relaxation exercises without virtual reality following hip and knee replacement surgery. The intervention is provided during the postoperative period in addition to standard care.
干预措施: Traditional Relaxation Therapy (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Postoperative Pain Intensity
时间窗: Postoperative three days period
Pain intensity will be assessed using Numerical Rating Scale (0-10 points) in patients undergoing hip and knee replacement surgery. 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the most severe pain.
次要结局
- Sleep Quality(Postoperative three days period)
