Title of the study:
Virtual reality for acute pain in outpatient hysteroscopy: a randomised controlled trial.
Authors:
Deo N., Khan K.S., Allotey J., Fusari G.
Results:
Significant decrease in anxiety (-39%), in the maximum intensity of pain felt (-28%) and in the perception of overall pain (-38%) in the virtual reality group compared to the control group when hysteroscopies were performed.
