Abstract：
Dental anxiety is common post-stroke, with many patients unable to receive standard anesthetics. Virtual reality has been increasingly used to manage pain and anxiety in dentistry, though its use in individuals with stroke is largely unexplored. A case series of two patients with a history of stroke and dental anxiety was conducted at a specialized dental clinic. Patients watched 360°-virtual reality videos in a dental chair using a head-mounted display. Outcomes (patient: dental anxiety and pain, reactions to virtual reality; dental team: system usability, impact on workflow) were assessed using a standard observation tool, questionnaires, and interviews. Both patients wore virtual reality throughout the procedure and reported that the device was comfortable, provided a distraction, and had potential to reduce anxiety/pain. The dentist reported a positive impact on patient anxiety and time to complete procedures, and intends to continue using virtual reality with other stroke patients and clinical populations.
摘要：
牙科焦虑是中风后常见的，许多患者无法接受标准麻醉药。虚拟现实越来越多地用于治疗牙科疼痛和焦虑，尽管它在中风患者中的使用在很大程度上是未经探索的。在一家专门的牙科诊所对两名有中风和牙科焦虑症病史的患者进行了一系列病例。患者使用头戴式显示器在牙科椅上观看360°虚拟现实视频。结果（患者：牙科焦虑和疼痛，对虚拟现实的反应；牙科团队：系统可用性，对工作流程的影响)使用标准观察工具进行评估，问卷，和采访。两名患者在整个过程中都穿着虚拟现实技术，并报告该设备很舒适，提供了一个分心，并有可能减少焦虑/疼痛。牙医报告对患者的焦虑和完成手术的时间有积极的影响，并打算继续使用虚拟现实与其他中风患者和临床人群。
