Official title

Clinical Study Evaluating the Effect of Virtual Reality on Reducing Anxiety in Patients Undergoing Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Overview

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.

Interventions

  • Device 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.
  • Other Control Group (No VR)
    local anesthesia alone (no VR)

Primary outcome measures

  • Anxiety reduction (MDAS questionnaire) [Time frame: Day 1]
  • Anxiety reduction (MDAS questionnaire) [Time frame: Month1]
