Virtual reality in surgery: minimizing stress and pain in patients undergoing minor-surgical procedures under local anesthesia—results of a feasibility study
VR technology represents a promising method to improve patient experience and comfort in surgical settings. The positive outcomes of this study encourage further research to fully capture and validate the potential of VR in medicine, particularly in pain management and stress reduction during various medical procedures.
