Virtual Reality and Outpatient Hysteroscopy
Acute PainHysteroscopyTITLE Virtual Reality (VR) as a Distraction technique for management of acute pain at Outpatient Hysteroscopy DESIGN Randomised Control Trial (RCT) with Mixed methods - Qualitative and quantitative AIMS To study the role of distraction techniques for management of acute pain in Outpatient Hysteroscopy and to assess feasibility of using Virtual Reality for managing pain. Primary objective: • Feasibility of using virtual reality as a distraction technique in management of acute pain in patients undergoing Outpatient Hysteroscopy. Secondary objectives: Understanding the acceptability and effectiveness of VR interventions within the procedural groups and how these might vary as a function of different patient demographics. Understanding the factors that might influence the willingness of patients to participate in a future formal trial of the technology. Understanding how best to implement the technology and designing of the contents of the VR intervention. Understanding the effective mechanisms for the analgesic effect of VR and explore how this could be tailored to individual patients. POPULATION Patients attending the Outpatient Hysteroscopy clinics ELIGIBILITY Patients undergoing Outpatient Hysteroscopy DURATION 6 months
