Summary

This study tests whether using a virtual reality headset during a scheduled cesarean section can help reduce pain and anxiety. Twenty women will be offered the headset at different stages of care, from admission to after birth. Researchers will measure how many accept and use it, and track their pain and anxiety levels.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
virtual reality headset (HypnoVR©)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a drug-free way to ease pain and anxiety during cesarean sections.
What could go wrong
This is a very small feasibility study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply widely. Virtual reality may not reduce pain or anxiety significantly.
