About this study

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a non-pharmacological intervention-the use of a virtual reality headset-on preoperative anxiety levels in patients. For this purpose, both psychometric instruments (STOA and APAIS questionnaires) and objective physiological and EEG parameters are used. Patients who do not receive any additional intervention will form the control group. The study was designed as a prospective, randomized, controlled, interventional study at the University Hospital Bonn. Patients aged 18 years and older who are scheduled to undergo elective surgery and who have no visual, hearing, or language impairments will be included in the study. The primary objective of the study is the reduction of preoperative anxiety. The hypothesis is that preoperative use of the VR headset reduces perioperative anxiety, stress, and pain.
