Impact of Virtual Reality Hypno-sedation on Functional Recovery and Anxiety in Foot Surgery With Regional Anesthesia

Overview

This prospective study aims to evaluate whether the implementation of a virtual reality hypnosedation (VRH)protocol reduces preoperative anxiety and increases patient comfort before, during, and after outpatient foot surgery.

This prospective study aims to evaluate whether the implementation of a virtual reality hypnosedation (VRH) protocol reduces preoperative anxiety and increases patient comfort before, during, and after outpatient foot surgery. The investigators hope to demonstrate a reduction in anxiety, improved postoperative experience and functional recovery according to currently validated scores measuring preoperative and postoperative recovery, anxiety and stress, and experience during a regional anesthesia technique. The investigators expect that VRH will be more effective than VR alone and conventional pharmacological sedation in reducing preoperative anxiety and in improving experience and functional recovery. If the hypothesis is correct, the investigators could propose to integrate this protocol as a first line in the ambulatory management of elective foot surgery.
