Virtual Realityon Pain, Anxiety and Comfort During Trigger Point Injection

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
To determine the effects of virtual reality application during trigger point injection on patients' pain, anxiety and comfort levels.This research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental type. The population of the research was planned to include patients who applied to the Algology polyclinic for trigger point injection. The sample of the research will consist of 150 patients who meet the sampling criteria and agree to participate in the research.Inclusion criteria: Trigger point injection applied for the first time, 18 years and over, understand and speak Turkish, understand verbal and written information given.Patients will be divided into two groups: experimental (virtual reality) and control groups.Data will be collected with the Case Report Form, State Anxiety Scale, General Comfort Scale and Visual Analog Scale.Patients' anxiety, comfort and pain levels will be evaluated before and after trigger point injection.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Patients in the experimental group will be shown videos that the patient wants to watch, such as nature and seaside walks, underwater videos, with music background, through virtual reality glasses for 10 minutes.Patients in the control group will continue routine practice.Patients' anxiety, comfort and pain levels will be evaluated before and after trigger point injection.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| State Anxiety Scale | The scale developed by Spielberger et al. aims to measure state and trait anxiety levels separately.The scores obtained from the scale vary between 20-80, and the total score between 20-39 indicates mild anxiety, between 40-59 indicates moderate anxiety, and between 60-79 indicates severe anxiety. | 10 minutes after procedure | 
| General Comfort Scale | The scale, which was developed by Kolcaba in 2006 and has a total of 28 questions as 'Refreshing (9 items), Relaxation (9 items) and Overcoming Problems (10 items), consists of three sub-dimensions.The lowest value that can be taken is 1, which indicates low comfort, and the highest value, 6, indicates high comfort. | 10 minutes after procedure | 
| Visual Analog Scale | It is aimed to determine the level of pain.0 means no pain and 10 means maximum pain | In the middle (10 minutes) of the procedure |
