Sedation Using Virtual Reality During Surgery Under Spinal Anesthesia
A study testing Sedation by watching virtual reality sedative program, Sedation by using intravenous sedative and Midazolam in people with Sedation and Spinal Anesthesia, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.
Trial summary
During spinal anesthesia, sedation is performed using intravenous sedative for the patient's comfort and appropriate surgical environment. However, side effects of medications such as respiratory depression, hypotension, bradycardia and desaturation cannot be avoided. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Comparison of Patient Satisfaction Between Sedation Using Medication and Sedation Using Virtual Reality During Surgery Under Spinal Anesthesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial
During spinal anesthesia, sedation is performed using intravenous sedative for the patient's comfort and appropriate surgical environment. However, side effects of medications such as respiratory depression, hypotension, bradycardia and desaturation cannot be avoided. Recently, there have been developed a virtual reality experience equipment and a variety of virtual reality programs including visuo-haptic computer technology. There have been clinical studies that apply this technology to the pain medicine, sedation and medical education. However, no study has been reported for the purpose of replacing sedation during spinal anesthesia.
Therefore, we attempt to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sedation using virtual reality meditation program during spinal anesthesia for urologic surgery.

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Satisfaction score of patient (time frame: 20 minutes after the arrival at the postanesthesia care unit). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Apr 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
