Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient with medical insurance
  • Major patient requiring a Hallux Valgus surgery
  • Patient who received information about study and signes a consent to participate in the study

Exclusion Criteria:

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Virtual reality

Drug sedation

Arm Description

The virtual reality device will consist of the virtual reality headset and headphones for full immersion.

The sedation group will benefit from drug sedation used in current practice, that is to say an association of Sufentanil, Droleptan and Propofol.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Digital visual scale to assess pain of patients during the treatment
Numeric scale numbered from 0 to 10. 0: no pain 10 : worst possible pain
Digital visual scale to assess anxiety of patients during the treatment
Numeric scale numbered from 0 to 10. 0: no anxiety 10 : worst possible anxiety

Secondary Outcome Measures

Patient satisfaction questionnaire
Concerns all patients Numeric scale numbered from 0 to 10. 0: unsatisfied 10 : very satisfied

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to observe or not a reduction on pain and anxiety felt by the patient when performing an ultrasound-controlled ankle block in preparation for forefoot surgery, using a virtual reality device instead of drug sedation.
Detailed Description
Currently, in preparation for forefoot surgery, the realization of the ankle block is accompanied by drug sedation. The investigator's randomized study aims to compare the anxiety and pain experienced by patients who have benefited from drug sedation with those of patients who benefited from the virtual reality device at the time of the realization of the ankle block.
