Официальное название
A Perioperative Virtual Reality Intervention for Pain and Anxiety Management During Vasectomies: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Обзор
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a virtual reality (VR) program (TRIPP) can reduce pain, anxiety, and distress in adult men (aged 18+) undergoing a vasectomy under local anesthesia. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does using VR during a vasectomy lower patients' pain during the procedure compared to standard care? * Does VR reduce anxiety and distress compared to standard care? * Are patients more satisfied with their experience when using VR compared to standard care? Researchers will compare two groups: * VR group: Patients will use a VR headset with a guided meditation program (TRIPP) during their vasectomy. * Control group: Patients will receive standard care (no VR). Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either the VR group or control group. * Complete brief questionnaires before, during, and after the procedure (about 15-20 minutes each time). * (VR group only) Use a VR headset during the procedure and provide optional feedback about the experience. Why is this important? Vasectomies are typically done with local anesthesia (pain relief), but many patients still feel anxiety or discomfort. VR may help distract and relax patients, improving their experience. This study will help health professionals understand if VR could be a useful option for future patients.
