Summary
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) goggles during a colposcopy can lower women's anxiety, stress, and pain. About 60 women scheduled for the procedure will either receive standard care or wear a VR headset showing calming content. The goal is to see if this simple, drug-free distraction technique improves the experience and helps women stay calm during the exam.
