ViMAP-OH: Videos and Music for Reducing Anxiety and Pain During In-office Hysteroscopy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The administration of pharmacological and non-pharmacological aids during in-office hysteroscopic surgery is often used to both relieve the patient from discomfort and facilitate the operator in performing the procedure. The investigators aim to test the hypothesis that watching a video clip or listening to music would act as non-pharmacological relief for reducing anxiety and pain during in-office hysteroscopy.
