Virtual Reality for Anxiety During Hip Replacement in Older Adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset during hip replacement surgery can help older adults feel less anxious and reduce confusion after the operation. It's for people having hip surgery with a spinal or epidural block, rather than general anesthesia.
