Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Eligible women, undergoing elective egg freezing, will be offered to participate in the study, and sign a consent form.

The patients will be randomized into 2 groups:

1. No intervention (routine management).
2. Exposure to scenery video, as a VR (virtual reality) session.

All women will be addressed prior to the procedure, while they are waiting, and upon consent will be asked to state their VAS (visual analogue scale) anxiety score and to fill the STAI (The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory questionnaire.) Vital signs (Heart rate, Blood pressure) will be recorded upon arrival.

Patients who were allocated to the VR arm will watch a 20-minute scenery video and following the session before entering the procedure will be asked to rate their VAS score and answer the STAI questionnaire once again. vital signs will be recorded again.

After recovery all women will fill the STAI questionnaire, VAS score and vital signs before they will be discharged.
