Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Our aim is to study the efficacy of a virtual environment in reducing pain and procedural anxiety. It is intended for patients undergoing an ultrasound guided breast localization procedure that have had an abnormal breast biopsy. The overall aim is to discover an efficacious nonpharmacologic method to lower pain and anxiety during a standard of care procedure.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Virtual Reality Goggles
Patients randomized to the intervention group will undergo their procedure as standard of care but will wear the Oculus Go Goggles and experience a virtual reality simulation. The simulation is a non-interactive polar theme video.
Oculus Go Virtual Reality Goggles
Oculus Go is a standalone portable Virtual Reality device that enables the user to immerse in different virtual environments.Non pharmacological technique to reduce pain and anxiety during a procedure.
Control
Patients randomized to the control group will undergo their procedure as standard of care without the use of virtual reality goggles.
No interventions assigned to this group
