Clinical Study Evaluating the Effect of Virtual Reality on Reducing Patients' Anxiety During Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Virtual reality HypnoVR® (VR headset + hypnotic software): CE-marked class I device combining VR immersion with hypnotic text and music therapy to reduce anxiety and pain during oral surgery.
Control Group (No VR): local anesthesia alone (no VR)
Study summary
Dental anxiety is common during third molar extractions and may exacerbate pain perception. Local anesthesia does not prevent exposure to stress-inducing stimuli. Virtual reality (VR) combined with hypnotic scripts (HypnoVR®) provides immersive multisensory distraction. This study tests whether VR reduces perioperative anxiety and postoperative pain compared to local anesthesia alone.
