Brief Summary

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

A randomized control trial will be conducted in Assuta Ashdod hospital, in the department of obstetrics and gynecology. Pregnant and non pregnant women, undergoing one of the procedures (external cephalic version,amniocentesis or hysteroscopy), will be approached. All willing patients meeting the criteria will sign an informed consent form will.

After signing informed consent patients will be randomly allocated into three groups:1) control (no use of VR). 2) use of VR googles without positive psychology. 3) use of VR googles with positive psychology.

Before and after the procedure each group will answer pain and anxiety questionnaires. In addition, following, following each procedure, salivary cortisol levels will be measured.
