NCT ID NCT07173231
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This pilot study will test whether virtual reality (VR) or a combination of VR and hypnosis (Hypno-VR) can help reduce pain and anxiety during a diagnostic hysteroscopy, a common gynecological procedure. 45 adult patients will be randomly assigned to standard care, VR, or Hypno-VR. The main goal is to see if these approaches are feasible and acceptable, with early data on pain and anxiety relief.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Immersive Virtual Reality Distraction (IVR) and Hypno-Virtual Reality (HVR) devices
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a non-drug way to reduce pain and anxiety during hysteroscopy, making the procedure more comfortable for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (45 people) testing feasibility, not effectiveness. The results may not apply to other procedures or settings, and VR may not work for everyone.
