Pain, Postoperative Clinical Trial
— VIREAOfficial title:
Virtual Reality Immersion With 360° Virtual Reality Headset to Reduce Postoperative Anxiety and Pain After Surgery for Colorectal Cancer: a Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial - VIREA Trial
In patients operated for colorectal cancer, pain, anxiety and depression are important factors in postoperative rehabilitation. The use of new technologies, as virtual reality immersion, could further improve their postoperative management. To date, no study has evaluated the potential benefits of using virtual reality before and after colorectal cancer surgery. The main objective is to determine if virtual reality can reduce postoperative anxiety in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery. To answer this question, the investigators plan to execute a randomized controlled, single-center, open-label, superiority interventional trial. Patients will be randomized into 2 parallel arms: 1 interventional "virtual immersion" arm and 1 "control" arm. Patients with colorectal cancer, regardless of oncological stage, or a colorectal lesion deemed endoscopically unresectable, with an indication for elective surgical management by laparotomy or laparoscopy will be included. For patients in the interventional arm, virtual reality headset is put on the day before the operation and in the morning just before going down to the operating theatre. Colorectal cancer surgery then proceeds as usual. In the postoperative period, virtual reality sessions are offered every day and on request without any limit in number. Virtual reality immersion offers a visual and auditory experience during a soothing journey through visual worlds filmed in natural environments. This is a purely contemplative mode, lasting maximum 30 minutes. For the control arm, patients are treated according to the usual practices of the department and do not have access to virtual reality. The main purpose is to show a greater decrease in anxiety in the interventional group by measuring the absolute difference between the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scores before surgery and at discharge.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Anxiety assessment | Change from State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-A) scores at D-7 before surgery and at discharge (maximum at day 30 after surgery). | Up to 30 days | |
Secondary | Total painkiller use (opioids and non-opioids) during hospitalization | painkillers and their use are prescribed and referenced in the software used in our department (Dxcare®). Data will be collected every day to obtain daily and total consumption. | Up to 30 days | |
Secondary | Pain assessment | Maximum pain experienced by the patient during the hospital stay using the numerical pain scale (NPS): nurses record patients' pain at least 4 times a day and note it directly in Dxcare® software (NPS 0 = no pain, NPS 10 = maximal pain) . | Up to 30 days | |
Secondary | Total anxiolytic use (benzodiazepines, related hypnotics, hydroxyzine) during hospitalization | Anxiolytics and their use are prescribed and referenced in the software used in our department (Dxcare®). Data will be collected every day to obtain daily and total consumption. | Up to 30 days | |
Secondary | Adverse effects of virtual reality immersion | Main adverse effects expected (nausea, vomiting, vertigo, headaches). Virtual reality sessions will be subject to a medical prescription on the software used in our department (Dxcare®). To validate each session, nurses will have to answer a questionnaire stating session duration, anxiety level before the session, reasons for a potential refusal, tolerance, possible comments on the programs used and number of sessions per day. | Up to 30 days | |
Secondary | Morbidity and mortality | Severe morbidity (Clavien Dindo classification) | Up to 30 days | |
Secondary | Confounding factors of anxiety | Measures of depression (CES-D, Center for Epidemiologic Studies - Depression - French version) and alcohol and tobacco consumption are included. These are indeed confounding factors of anxiety and potential moderating factors of virtual reality's effectiveness. | 7 days before surgery | |
Secondary | Morbidity | Transit recovery time | Up to 30 days |
