Study Details

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of a Virtual Reality (VR) application computer simulation \[(CS) VR Mindful Meditation App')\] versus music relaxation in reducing anxiety and pain in women undergoing breast biopsies. Participants will be randomized into three groups: VR, music relaxation, or standard care. Anxiety and pain will be measured using validated scales, and an optional physiological marker may be collected to assess stress levels. Participants will also be asked about their satisfaction with the intervention received, along with procedure-specific questions.

Arms

  • Experimental: VR Intervention
    Patients will wear a Virtual Reality (VR) headset during the breast biopsy. They will use the CS VR Mindful Meditation App. Anxiety and pain will be measured using validated scales, and an optional physiological marker may be collected to assess stress levels. Participants will also be asked about their satisfaction with the intervention received, along with procedure-specific questions.
  • Active Comparator: Music Intervention
    Patients will listen to standard calming music during the breast biopsy from the computer/speakers in the room. Anxiety and pain will be measured using validated scales, and an optional physiological marker may be collected to assess stress levels. Participants will also be asked about their satisfaction with the intervention received, along with procedure-specific questions.
  • No Intervention: No Intervention
    Patients will have no intervention and complete the breast biopsy as standard of care. Anxiety and pain will be measured using validated scales, and an optional physiological marker may be collected to assess stress levels. Participants will also be asked about their satisfaction with the intervention received, along with procedure-specific questions.
