Effect of Virtual Reality for Pain Management During Intracervical Balloon Placement for Artificial Childbirth Induction

NCT05155826 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The labor induction concerns 22% of births in France. In the event of labor induction, in almost two thirds of cases, a cervical ripening method is used and the use of mechanical methods is observed for 8% of cervical ripening. Intra-cervical balloon placement is generally well tolerated but is frequently associated with pain and acute anxiety. There are few options for pain relief. Virtual reality, a relatively new intervention, has been studied as a distraction technique for pain relief, but never in the context of the induction of childbirth.
