- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) as a distraction method for managing pain and anxiety during outpatient uterine aspiration procedures.
- Involving 50 participants, the study compared VR intervention with standard care, measuring pain and anxiety scores before and after the procedure, along with conducting qualitative interviews.
