Virtual reality for pain during egg freezing
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a virtual reality (VR) headset during egg freezing can help reduce pain. If you are having your eggs retrieved to preserve your fertility, you may be able to take part and wear a VR device to see if it makes the procedure more comfortable.
