Treatments tested in this trial

  • Virtual Reality with Oculus Go headset

    Device

    The investigator will place the Oculus Go VR headset on the patient. VR will provide distracting, pleasant visual stimulus from the beginning of the procedure (while the patient is being cleaned and draped) and removed immediately after the regional anesthesia procedure is complete for roughly 10-20 minutes. All patients receiving VR will view the same scene.

80 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Control Group (no VR)No intervention 0 interventions
Group B: Experimental Group (VR)Experimental treatment 1 intervention
