The main objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether watching an educational video before surgery, combined with the use of virtual reality or music during surgery, can reduce anxiety and pain in people undergoing ingrown toenail (onychocryptosis) surgery. The main questions the study aims to answer are: Are the educational video, virtual reality, and music effective in controlling and reducing pain and anxiety during surgery compared to traditional surgery? As a distraction technique, is virtual reality or music more effective in reducing pain and anxiety during surgery? Do these interventions produce changes in patients' physiological parameters during surgery? Is there a relationship between patients' sociodemographic characteristics and their level of anxiety when undergoing surgery? Three study groups will be compared to determine the effect of each intervention: Experimental Group 1: watch a 5-minute educational video before entering the operating room and use virtual reality glasses with a 360° immersive video of a relaxing walk in the forest during surgery. Experimental Group 2: watch the 5-minute educational video before surgery and listen to carefully selected instrumental music through noise-canceling headphones during surgery. Control Group: surgery performed in the traditional way, without an educational video, virtual reality, or music. All participants will complete questionnaires to assess anxiety, pain, and satisfaction before and after surgery.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7)
Timeframe: The scale will be completed by patients after viewing the educational video and before entering the operating room.
The Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS)
Timeframe: The scale will be completed by patients after viewing the educational video and before entering the operating room.
Preoperative Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety (VAS-A pre)
Timeframe: Measured once after viewing the educational video and prior to entering the operating room.
Intraoperative Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety (VAS-A intra)
Timeframe: Measured once postoperatively, after the patient has left the operating room and is in the pre-recovery area.
Postoperative Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety (VAS-A post)
Timeframe: Measured once postoperatively, after the patient has left the operating room and is in the pre-recovery area.
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory - State-Anxiety Subscale (STAI-S)
Timeframe: Measured once postoperatively, after the patient has left the operating room and is in the pre-recovery area.
Visual Analogue Scale for Maximum Pain (VAS-P Max)
Timeframe: Measured once postoperatively, after the patient has left the operating room and is in the pre-recovery area.
Visual Analogue Scale for Average Pain (VAS-P average)
Timeframe: Measured once postoperatively, after the patient has left the operating room and is in the pre-recovery area.
