Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

No Intervention

Arm Label

Group VR

Group C

Arm Description

Patients will be virtually immersed into a natural universe and soft music for 15 minutes preoperatively and during surgery.

Patients will not receive Virtual reality (VR) experience.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Anxiety
Each patient will be instructed about the scores; State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S). The Arabic validated version of STAI-S test will be provided to the patients to determine the anxiety levels. Scores vary between and 20-80 with high scores associated with higher anxiety levels. Patients will be asked to read each statement and then indicate how they were feeling at that moment by marking the appropriate parentheses on the right side of each statement. Anxiety will be measured at baseline (15 min before operation), before spinal anesthesia and immediately postoperative.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Total intraoperative haloperidol consumption
Rescue sedation (haloperidol 2.5 mg titrated doses till the needed effect) will be given if the patient is still in anxiety.
Stress measured by Cohen Perceived Stress Scale
Patients will be asked about feelings and thoughts during the last month to indicate how often you felt or thought a certain way on a five-point scale from 'never' to 'very often'. Answers are then scored as follow: Never=0, Almost never=1, Sometimes=2, Fairly often=3, Very often=4. It consists of 10 questions, takes 5-10 minutes to complete and is for individual or group administration. Stress scores will be measured at baseline (15 min before operation), before spinal anesthesia and immediately postoperative.
Stress measured by blood serum level of cortisol
Serum cortisol level will be measured before surgery and 6 h
The degree of postoperative pain
Numerical Rating Scale(NRS) will be assessed to evaluate postoperative pain and ask patients to rate their level of pain at 30 minutes and then at 2, 4, 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours postoperative on a scale specifically adapted for this purpose. Each patient obtained a score between 0 and 10.
Amount of opioid consumption
All patients will be given paracetamol 1 g as routine analgesia. If Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) > 3 is observed, rescue analgesia (pethidine 0.5 mg IV) will be administered.
Heart rate changes
Heart rate (HR) will be measured at baseline, before spinal anesthesia , and 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes intraoperatively and at end of surgery.
Mean arterial blood pressure changes
Mean arterial blood pressure will be measured at baseline, before spinal anesthesia , and 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes intraoperatively and at end of surgery.
Patient satisfaction
Patient satisfaction will be assessed on a 5-point likert scale Patient satisfaction (1, extremely dissatisfied; 2, unsatisfied; 3, neutral; 4, satisfied ; 5, extremely satisfied).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate Virtual reality (VR) on perioperative anxiety, pain, hemodynamics, and stress hormones in patients undergoing Total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Detailed Description
VR is a computer technology that provides the feeling of being immersed in a simulated three-dimensional (3D) world where the user may interact with the virtual environment. Clinical studies have shown that VR technology is effective in reducing pain perception and anxiety. It has also been proposed as an effective non-pharmacological alternative for reducing acute procedural pain and providing anxiety relief.
