Summary

This study looked at whether using a virtual reality hypnosis headset during a frozen embryo transfer is practical and can help lower anxiety. Fifty women undergoing IVF used the headset during the procedure. The main goal was to see if the headset could be used without technical problems, and researchers also checked if it reduced anxiety and was acceptable to patients.
