NCT ID NCT07235800
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test a new virtual reality (VR) training program for midwifery students to learn episiotomy, a surgical cut made during childbirth. The goal is to see if VR training improves students' skills and confidence compared to traditional methods. 87 third-year midwifery students will participate, using VR headsets and controllers to practice in a simulated delivery room.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this VR training could become a new, effective way to teach midwifery students a critical childbirth procedure, potentially improving patient safety.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage educational study with no patient outcomes. The VR simulation may not translate to real-world skills or be adopted widely.
