ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the use of virtual reality (VR) technology to help manage acute pain and anxiety during outpatient hysteroscopy, a procedure used to examine the inside of the uterus. The goal is to see if VR can provide a non-drug way to make patients feel more comfortable and less anxious while they undergo this procedure, which is becoming more common because it avoids the risks associated with general anesthesia.

To participate in this trial, you need to be a female patient scheduled for a diagnostic hysteroscopy, which could be for reasons like infertility or abnormal bleeding. However, certain conditions might exclude you from joining, such as having a severe pelvic infection, active genital herpes, or any psychological or sensory disorders. If you decide to participate, you can expect to wear a VR headset during your procedure, which is designed to distract you and help ease any discomfort. It's an exciting opportunity to explore how new technology can improve patient experiences in healthcare!
