Conditions

Triggerfinger syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome

Interventions

After allocation to either the VR group or the control group, the VR group received a VR goggle with headphones. During the procedure, each patient had the option to select their own preferable VR mov

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: All patients who visited the outpatient clinic and were diagnosed with either carpal tunnel syndrome or triggerfiger of a single digit and suitable for undergoing wide awake local anesthetic surgery were asked to participate in this study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria were severe hand disorders in which local anesthesia would not be sufficient (i.e. wrist surgery), motion sickness, unwillingness to wear bands around the head, patients younger than 18 years old or patients with claustrofobia

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Multiple outcomes were measured, of which all were measured both peri-operatively, direct post-operatively as well as 2 weeks post-operatively. We divided the outcome measures in three groups: Patient reported outcomes (PROMS), Patient reported experience outcomes (PREMS) and objective outcomes. Below we will elaborate on these different sets of outcomes. PROMS We measured pain, fun, nausea and relaxation using a 0-10 Likert Scale during peri-operatively and direct post-operatively. In addition, we asked patients to fill in the PHQ-4 questionaire for anxiety peri-operatively and direct post-operatively. Furthermore, patients were asked to fill in the Michigan hand questionnaire/DASH at 2 weeks post-operatively. PREMS CQ-index was asked to be filled in after two weeks post-operatively to assess what the overall experience was the given treatment.	—
