An interventional study of Virtual reality HypnoVR® (VR headset + hypnotic software) and Control Group (No VR) in Dental Anxiety, Third Molar Extraction and Oral Surgery, sponsored by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France. Recruiting at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-20.
Sponsored by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
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.
