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.

Interventions

DEVICEVirtual reality

The patient will have the choice between different environments and the use of this device will remain under the control of the medical team. The patient will wear the virtual reality device at the time of the completion of the ankle block and will remove it once the nerve puncture is complete.

DRUGDroleptan

Venous administration of 1.25 mg of Droleptan

DRUGPropofol

Venous administration of 20 mg of Propofol

Venous administration of 5 μg of Sufentanyl.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Digital visual scale to assess pain of patients during the treatment5 min after the first nerve punctionNumeric scale numbered from 0 to 10. 0: no pain 10 : worst possible pain
Digital visual scale to assess anxiety of patients during the treatment5 min after the first nerve punctionNumeric scale numbered from 0 to 10. 0: no anxiety 10 : worst possible anxiety

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient satisfaction questionnaire5 min after the last nerve punctionConcerns all patients Numeric scale numbered from 0 to 10. 0: unsatisfied 10 : very satisfied
Patient comfort assessment questionnaire5 min after the last nerve punctionConcerns all patients. This is a question to determine their comfort levels during the experiment. Numeric scale numbered from 1 to 5. 1. : very comfortable 2. : comfortable 3. : less comfortable 4. : uncomfortable 5. : very uncomfortable
