ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at how relaxation exercises and virtual reality (VR) can help manage pain and improve recovery after surgery to remove impacted wisdom teeth, also known as third molars. Many people experience pain and discomfort after this common procedure, which can affect their daily lives, including sleep and anxiety levels. The trial aims to see if using relaxation techniques and VR can make the recovery process more comfortable and improve overall well-being.
To participate in this study, individuals need to be between 18 and 35 years old and have undergone surgery for specific types of impacted wisdom teeth. They should be generally healthy and not have significant dental anxiety or certain medical conditions that could interfere with the trial. Participants can expect to engage in relaxation exercises and use virtual reality technology during their recovery period, which could help reduce pain and anxiety, making their experience after surgery more pleasant. This study is still in the planning stage and has not yet started recruiting participants.
