Description

Summary

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.
