Study Arms (2)

Conventional group

NO INTERVENTION

Drug is injected to epidural space for a total of 50 minutes. The drug injection is provided in the same way as the conventional method of injecting drugs in Seoul National University Hospital Pain Center.

VR group

EXPERIMENTAL

Drug is injected to epidural space for a total of 50 minutes. The drug injection is provided with virtual reality experience. Conditions are the same in both arms except for virtual reality experience.

Behavioral: Virtual reality experience

Interventions

Patients are to experice virtual reality with virtual reality experience equipment (headsets, headphones, smartphones) and virtual reality experience programs. The equipments and programs are commercialized products on the market rather than medical products.
