Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Placebo Comparator

Active Comparator

Arm Label

VR googles using exposure sham program

VR googles and the real VR program experience.

Arm Description

The study groups will receive VR googles and the sham program

The study group will receive the VR googles and the real VR program experience.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Pain Scores
The investigators will assess pain using NRS scores (0-10, with 10 being worst)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Total opioid consumption
the investigators will measure total opioid consumption converted to morphine milligram equivalents (MME).
Time weighted average pain score
The investigators will capture all pain scores measurements
Perception of video system usability
Patient's perception of video system usability will be assessed using a validated questionnaire (System Usability Scale). The System Usability Scale is scored from 0 to 100 and higher scores are related with devices that are easier to use.
Post discharge analgesia.
Pain Outcomes Questionnaire Short Form, which evaluates five domains (pain, mobility, activities of daily living, vitality, negative affect and fear). The Pain Outcomes Questionnaire Short Form is scored from 0 to 190 and higher scores are related with worst pain outcomes.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Using a randomized controlled design, the investigators goal is to estimate the effect of VR on postoperative analgesia and opioid consumption.
Detailed Description
Specifically, the investigators propose to test the primary hypothesis that the use of AppliedVR software in Pico G2 4K headsets decreases acute postoperative pain scores (with a 1 point difference considered clinically important) compared to sham treatment on a 0-10 scale 15 minutes after each use in the first 48 hours after surgery or hospital discharge, whichever comes first.

Primary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Pain Scores
Description
The investigators will assess pain using NRS scores (0-10, with 10 being worst)
Time Frame
From the end of surgery until 48 hours after surgery or discharge, whichever comes first
Secondary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Total opioid consumption
Description
the investigators will measure total opioid consumption converted to morphine milligram equivalents (MME).
Time Frame
Within the first 72 hours.
Title
Time weighted average pain score
Description
The investigators will capture all pain scores measurements
Time Frame
Every 4 hours by standard of care during the first 48 hours after surgery or hospital discharge, whichever comes first using NRS scores (0-10, with 10 being worst).
Title
Perception of video system usability
Description
Patient's perception of video system usability will be assessed using a validated questionnaire (System Usability Scale). The System Usability Scale is scored from 0 to 100 and higher scores are related with devices that are easier to use.
Time Frame
Once after the last assessment or hospital discharge, whichever comes first.
Title
Post discharge analgesia.
Description
Pain Outcomes Questionnaire Short Form, which evaluates five domains (pain, mobility, activities of daily living, vitality, negative affect and fear). The Pain Outcomes Questionnaire Short Form is scored from 0 to 190 and higher scores are related with worst pain outcomes.
Time Frame
One week (7days) after hospital discharge
