Patient Augmented Reality and Vibratory Array Otorhinolaryngology Procedures

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pain, Acute, Vocal Fold Polyp, Vocal Cord Paralysis, Laryngeal Neoplasms

In brief

In-office procedures (IOPs) are a cost-effective, and safe alternative to many operating room procedure, with benefits such as reduced anesthesia risk. One of the major causes of failed in-office procedures or requirement of conversion to the operating room is poor patient tolerance. Vibration and augmented reality (AR) can be used as non-pharmacologic treatment options to treat patient anxiety and pain by using the physiology proposed by the gate-way theory of pain as well as distraction. This study seeks to compare anxiety and pain perception with patient reported survey data, as well as physiologic indicators of stress such as heart rate variability (HRV) within patients undergoing IOPs in a laryngology office with and without vibration and AR treatment.
