Anxiety Reduction During Office Procedural Medicine Using Aromatherapy
Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Anxiety, Anxiety State, Procedural Anxiety
In brief
This goal of this study is to assess whether lavender aromatherapy during gynecologic and urogynecologic outpatient procedures is associated with a decrease in patient anxiety levels. Based on similar interventions in other specialties of medicine, the investigators hypothesize that patients exposed to lavender aromatherapy during their procedure will have less anxiety than those who are not exposed to lavender aromatherapy.
