Virtual Reality Distraction for Reducing Acute Postoperative Pain After Hip Arthroplasty: A Randomized Trial.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.

OE Journal. 2024;12(17):2 Anesth Analg . 2024 Apr 1;138(4):751-759.Study Summary
113 patients recovering from elective total hip arthroplasty were randomized to receive either a 3D immersive virtual reality relaxation and distraction program (n=58) or a 2D nature film as a sham control (n=55). The primary outcome was pain scores after the interventions. Secondary outcomes included opioid consumption, routine pain scores by nursing staff, system usability, and pain one week after discharge. Outcomes were assessed over the first 48 postoperative hours or until discharge. Overall, the results revealed no statistically significant reduction in pain scores or opioid consumption with virtual reality compared to the sham. Virtual reality distraction did not provide significant analgesic benefits for acute postoperative pain.
