Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Assessments of pain through pain score parameter
Assessments of pain through pain score parameter of the NRS questionnaire. Pain will be measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) which is a 11 point scale from 0 to 10 which is a validated score of measuring pain and anxiety in which 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst imaginable pain and or anxiety.
Assessments of pain through physiological parameters
Assessments of pain through physiological parameters of pulse rate. Heart Rate will be measured using Heart Rate-beats per minute.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
To evaluate the effectiveness of VR as a distraction technique in the management of acute pain and anxiety during ultrasound exam in patients with endometriosis in the outpatient setting.
Detailed Description
A prospective, open-label, randomized control trial in a tertiary university-affiliated medical center between April to August 2020. Overall, 100 women will be randomly allocated to undergo ultrasound exam either with the use of VR (study group) or with standard treatment (control group). The primary outcome measures includ self-reported pain, anxiety scores, and vital parameters as pulse rate (PR) and respiratory rate (RR). Pain and anxiety outcomes were measured as numeric rating scores.
