Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Cell Neoplasm, Malignant Solid Neoplasm
Conditions
Brief summary
This trial studies the impact of virtual reality experiences on anxiety before surgery and pain after surgery. The goal of this study is to examine how different virtual reality experiences may help reduce anxiety and improve pain control, which may help reduce the need for medications such as opioids.
Detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To measure the impact of a gaming virtual reality (VR) experience compared to a mindfulness VR experience on preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Patients participate in a VR intervention (Angry Birds) over 15 minutes before standard of care surgery and then participate in a VR intervention (TRIPP) over 15 minutes after surgery. ARM II: Patients participate in a VR intervention (TRIPP) over 15 minutes before standard of care surgery and then participate in a VR intervention (Angry Birds) over 15 minutes after surgery.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in preoperative anxiety scores | Baseline up to pre surgery (estimated 1 day) | Assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0-100mm. |
| Change in postoperative pain scores | Baseline after surgery up to study completion (estimated 1 day) | Assessed by VAS scale from 0-100mm. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in blood pressure | immediately before intervention, and then immediately after intervention (estimated 1 day) | mmHg |
| Patient enjoyment of each VR experience | Up to study completion (estimated 1 day) | Likert scale (1-5). 1 represents the lowest score, and 5 represents the highest. |
| Change in heart rate | immediately before intervention, and then immediately after intervention (estimated 1 day) | beats per minute (bpm) |
| Patient desire to use VR more in their healthcare | Up to study completion (estimated 1 day) | Likert scale (1-5). 1 represents the lowest score, and 5 represents the highest. |
