Virtual Reality During Conization of Cervix Uterus Under Local Anesthesia
Virtual Reality During Conization of Cervix Uterus Under Local Anesthesia
To evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality glasses as a distraction technique in the
 management of acute pain and anxiety during conization of cervix uterus under local
 anesthesia
A prospective, open-label, randomized control trial in a tertiary university affiliated
 medical center between March 2021 to March 2023. Overall, 100 women referred for conization
 of cervix due to cervical dysplasia will be randomly allocated to undergo conization either
 with the use of virtual reality glasses (study group) or with standard treatment (control
 group). The primary outcome measures will include self-reported pain, anxiety scores, and
 vital signs as an indirect measurement of pain and anxiety, including pulse rate (PR) and
 respiratory rate (RR). Pain and anxiety outcomes will be measured as numeric rating scores.
Inclusion Criteria:

 Patients over 18 years referred for conization of cervix due to cervical dysplasia

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  patients under 18 years

 -  pregnant women
