This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers tested virtual reality glasses as a way to help women feel less pain and anxiety during an endometrial biopsy—a procedure where doctors take a small tissue sample from the uterus. Women in the virtual reality group wore special glasses that showed relaxing nature videos with calming music while undergoing the procedure, and researchers compared their pain and anxiety levels to women who received the standard procedure without the glasses.
Endometrial biopsies can be uncomfortable and anxiety-inducing for many women. This study explored whether virtual reality could serve as a simple, non-medication tool to help patients feel more relaxed and experience less discomfort during the procedure.
Women who qualified were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Those in the virtual reality group received the standard endometrial biopsy procedure while wearing virtual reality glasses that displayed a 15-minute video of nature scenes accompanied by relaxing music played through a speaker. Women in the comparison group received the standard procedure without the virtual reality glasses. The study measured how much pain and anxiety each group experienced during the procedure.
