Virtual Reality Hypnosis for Labor Pain and Anxiety Management

For patients randomized to the intervention arm, the investigator will provide a clear explanation of the procedure and the use of the HypnoVR virtual reality headset. The investigator will remain present throughout the session to supervise the experience, using the companion tablet to monitor the visualization in real time. Participants will be invited to select one of eight immersive visual environments designed to promote relaxation and analgesia during labor. Available options include: Tropical Beach, Underwood, Underwater Dive, Zen Garden, Astral Travel, Winter Landscape, Aurora Borealis, and Oasis. Patients will be informed that they may discontinue the use of the headset at any time and for any reason, without any consequences for their standard medical care.
