This study tests whether a simple relaxation technique (progressive muscle relaxation) can help reduce fear of falling, pain, and anxiety after hip or knee replacement surgery. It may be a safe, drug-free way to feel better during recovery.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality after knee replacement surgery can help reduce pain and improve satisfaction. It may offer a non-drug way to manage discomfort during recovery.
This trial tests if using virtual reality can help reduce pain after hip replacement surgery. It may be a good option if you are having a hip replacement and have moderate to severe pain.
This study uses virtual reality (a computer-generated 3D environment you wear a headset for) alongside your usual care to help with recovery after hip or knee replacement surgery. It may help reduce pain or improve how well you move after surgery.
This study tests whether watching relaxing videos through special glasses or a virtual reality headset helps reduce anxiety before orthopedic surgery (like hip or knee replacement). Researchers want to see if these tools work better than no relaxation aid at all.
