Effect of Virtual Reality and Music Therapy on Pain Relief in OPH Operations

Outpatient hysteroscopy can serve as a diagnostic procedure to evaluate for abnormal uterine bleeding, such as menorrhagia or postmenopausal bleeding. This study focuses on the therapeutic aspect of outpatient hysteroscopy, such as myomectomy, polypectomy, intrauterine adhesiolysis and removal of lost intrauterine devices, etc. Apart from the conventional polyp scissors and biopsy forceps, there are also emerging hysterscopic tissue removal systems, such as Truclear®, that can decrease the operation time and increase success of outpatient hysteroscopic operations. On such occasions, the outpatient hysteroscopic operation needs to be re-arranged in an inpatient setting in the operation theatre under regional or general anesthesia. Therefore, improvement in pain management can reduce participants' health care experience, participants' anaesthetic and procedural risks, decrease healthcare costs, and reduce inconvenience to participants. This randomized controlled trial aims at evaluating the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions (virtual reality and music therapy) in pain management during hysteroscopic operations. It can hopefully provide more local clinical data to explore the role of nonpharmacological techniques in pain control, hence improve our participants' experience in hysteroscopic operations and the potential of providing more hysteroscopic operations as an outpatient setting.
