Virtual Reality for Postoperative Pain Management : Virtual Reality for Postoperative Pain Management After Head and Neck Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Management of postoperative pain after head and neck surgery is complex, and has received increased attention to improve patient recovery and quality of life. Narcotic analgesics are frequently utilized in postoperative pain management, but these have risks including nausea, sedation, constipation, and dependence. Multimodal analgesia can reduce narcotic use and improve recovery, but medical comorbidities may contraindicate the use of certain medications. Non-pharmacologic measures for postoperative pain control may provide novel and cost-effective strategies to confront this complex issue.Patients undergoing head and neck surgery will be randomly allocated to participate in an immersive experience in VR, or to participate in a similar experience on a two-dimensional screen using a smartphone..
