Virtual Reality for Pain Reduction During IUD Insertion

NCT07648134 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 90

Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) as a non-pharmacological distraction intervention during intrauterine device (IUD) insertion. IUD insertion is commonly associated with pain and anxiety, which may negatively affect patient experience and acceptance of the procedure.

In this quasi-experimental study, women undergoing IUD insertion were allocated into two groups: a virtual reality group receiving immersive audiovisual distraction during the procedure and a control group receiving standard care. Pain intensity and anxiety levels were assessed and compared between the two groups.

The findings of this study are expected to support the use of VR as a safe, simple, and non-invasive method to reduce procedural pain and anxiety and improve patient satisfaction during IUD insertion.
