The Effectiveness of Immersive Virtual Reality as a Pain Control Modality After Hip Arthroscopy
Sponsor: Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
Summary
1. The purpose of the research is to assess the efficacy of postoperative immersive virtual reality (iVR) compared to a standard multimodal pain regimen including opioids and a local block on acute postoperative pain management following hip arthroscopy 2. The primary research procedures are medical record review for demographic information, head-mounted immersive virtual reality experience in PACU, and pre-operative and post-operative surveys 3. The study will enroll adult patients of all ages undergoing elective hip arthroscopy procedures for any diagnosis

Interventions
iVR Group
On the day of surgery, the iVR group will receive a 30-minute sessions or "dose" of iVR therapy in the ambulatory post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) during their stay. The three distraction-based or skills-based iVR modules will consist of either 1) Mindful Escape; 2) Empowered Breathing; or 3) Relaxation videos. The iVR group will be sub-randomized into receiving only one of the three types of modules. The modules will start approximately 30 minutes upon arriving in PACU and will last approximately 30 minutes.
Standard pain management regimen
In the ambulatory post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) during their stay with have standard postoperative pain protocol (including a pre-operative local field block).
