Brief Summary

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

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a Virtual Reality (VR)-based mindfulness and meditation intervention in reducing anxiety among patients undergoing fertility-related surgical procedures. Anxiety is a common challenge in fertility treatments, often leading to emotional distress and increased pain perception. By incorporating a non-invasive VR intervention, the investigators seek to improve patient experience, minimize preoperative anxiety, and potentially reduce postoperative discomfort and recovery times. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will compare standard care with a VR intervention in a clinical setting, measuring key outcomes such as anxiety levels, pain perception, recovery duration, and overall patient satisfaction. The findings may contribute to more patient centered fertility care, offering an innovative, scalable, and cost-effective approach to anxiety management in reproductive medicine.

Detailed Description

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

This study examines the effectiveness of a Virtual Reality (VR) mindfulness intervention in reducing anxiety for patients undergoing fertility surgeries. The trial will compare VR with standard care, measuring outcomes like anxiety, pain, recovery time, and patient satisfaction. The results could provide a cost-effective, patient-centered approach to managing anxiety in fertility treatments.

Study Groups

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

Control Group (No VR intervention)

Patients will receive standard care without the VR intervention. Anxiety levels will be measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before the procedure (baseline) and after the procedure.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Intervention Group (Virtual Reality Intervention)

Patients will experience the VR mindfulness intervention using the Tripp App or comparable applications.

Anxiety levels will be measured using the STAI before the VR experience, immediately after the VR experience, and after the procedure.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Group (Virtual Reality intervention)

Intervention Type DEVICE

Patients will experience the VR mindfulness intervention using the Tripp App or comparable applications.

Anxiety levels will be measured using the STAI before the VR experience, immediately after the VR experience, and after the procedure.
