Virtual Reality for Mindfulness and Anxiety Reduction in Fertility Procedures

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Virtual Reality, Patient Experience

In brief

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a Virtual Reality (VR)-based mindfulness and meditation intervention in reducing anxiety among patients undergoing fertility-related surgical procedures. Anxiety is a common challenge in fertility treatments, often leading to emotional distress and increased pain perception. By incorporating a non-invasive VR intervention, the investigators seek to improve patient experience, minimize preoperative anxiety, and potentially reduce postoperative discomfort and recovery times. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will compare standard care with a VR intervention in a clinical setting, measuring key outcomes such as anxiety levels, pain perception, recovery duration, and overall patient satisfaction. The findings may contribute to more patient centered fertility care, offering an innovative, scalable, and cost-effective approach to anxiety management in reproductive medicine.
