Study Summary

This trial studies an active virtual reality (VR) experience as a means for non-pharmacologic postoperative pain management among patients after head and neck surgery. Investigators will assess differences in pain scores, analgesic use, and subjective patient experiences between patients participating in a VR activity and patients participating in the same activity using a smartphone.

Primary Outcome

Pain scores will be obtained using an 11-point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) prior to each intervention, immediately after the intervention, and then hourly up to 4 hours after the intervention to assess changes in pain scores after each intervention. A score of 0 signifies no pain, and a score of 10 signifies the highest severity of pain.

Interventions

  • DEVICE Smartphone
  • DEVICE Virtual Reality (Oculus Quest)
