About this study

Whether it's Western medicine's surgical treatment or traditional Chinese medicine's acupuncture and acupotomy treatment, for patients preparing to undergo invasive treatment, pre-treatment explanations can improve patient compliance and reduce patient anxiety about disease treatment. The application of virtual reality systems in the medical field is mostly in preoperative training and medical education, while in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, it focuses on acupuncture teaching, with less evaluation of explanations before acupuncture treatment. Therefore, this study will develop and establish a virtual reality acupuncture system, and introduce the technology acceptance model to systematically explore the impact of acupuncture treatment effectiveness and its related medical experience and doctor-patient interaction
