Study Summary
This study will examine the impact of virtual reality used in conjunction with sedation compared to sedation alone in patients undergoing watervcooled genicular nerve ablations for chronic knee pain. The goals of the study is to determine the relative efficacy of virtual reality as a distraction modality when used as an adjuvant to procedural sedation compared to sedation alone for procedure related pain. To assess procedural satisfaction, and 1-month pain and functional outcomes.To explore whether virtual reality and lower procedure-related pain scores affect 1-month outcomes. And finally to determine whether demographic and clinical characteristics are associated with outcome measures.
Primary Outcome
