Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Given the current lack of satisfactory options for the management of IUD insertion pain, could the virtual reality headset be an innovative and effective tool? The objective is to compare the pain experienced during IUD insertion between a group of women wearing a virtual reality helmet and a group not wearing one.

Observational, prospective, randomized, open-label, monocentric study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

VR+

For patients in the experimental group, using the virtual reality helmet, the caregiver will position the helmet on the patient when she is placed on the gynecological examination table. He or she will make sure that the patient can see and hear the current sequence. The caregiver can then proceed with the different steps of the IUD insertion. Once the procedure is completed, the caregiver will indicate to the patient that she can remove the headphones.
