Brief Summary

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

The primary objective of the study is to prospectively compare perioperative pain assessed in patients undergoing targeted prostate biopsies, either transrectally or transperineally, under local anesthesia with or without a virtual reality hypnosis headset. The study was sized based on a mean pain reduction of 1.5 points on a numerical scale (0-10 NAS), with an estimate of procedure-related pain of 4.0 on the NAS scale.

Detailed Description

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

Prospective comparison of pain during the procedure assessed in patients treated for prostate biopsies under local anesthesia with or without a virtual reality headset.No additional examination will be performed in addition to the conventional management of a biopsy except for the fitting of the headset for patients randomized to the "with virtual reality headset" group.

Patients will be randomized on the same day of the procedure into one of the two study groups.

A single follow-up visit will be performed postoperatively 1 month after surgery.
