First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether wearing virtual reality glasses that show nature scenes and play relaxing sounds can help reduce pain and anxiety in women undergoing an endometrial biopsy. Half of the participants will use the VR glasses during the procedure, while the other half will receive standard care. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug approach can make the experience more comfortable.
