NCT ID NCT07633990
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether watching a video through virtual reality goggles with music can reduce pain and improve sleep quality in women with period pain (dysmenorrhea). 77 women aged 15-49 with moderate to severe pain used either VR with music or just music alone for 3 days. The goal was to see if the VR experience offered extra relief compared to music alone.
