Evaluation of the Effect on Pain of Attentional Diversion Associated with Hypnotic Induction by Virtual Reality (VRH) in Perioperative Prostate Biopsies Under Local Anesthesia:
A study testing prostate biopsy in people with Prostate Biopsy, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site in France.
Trial summary
The primary objective of the study is to prospectively compare perioperative pain assessed in patients undergoing targeted prostate biopsies, either transrectally or transperineally, under local anesthesia with or without a virtual reality hypnosis headset. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Evaluation of the Effect on Pain of Attentional Diversion Associated with Hypnotic Induction by Virtual Reality (VRH) in Perioperative Prostate Biopsies Under Local Anesthesia: Prospective Randomized and Controlled Trial
The primary objective of the study is to prospectively compare perioperative pain assessed in patients undergoing targeted prostate biopsies, either transrectally or transperineally, under local anesthesia with or without a virtual reality hypnosis headset. The study was sized based on a mean pain reduction of 1.5 points on a numerical scale (0-10 NAS), with an estimate of procedure-related pain of 4.0 on the NAS scale.
Read the detailed description
Prospective comparison of pain during the procedure assessed in patients treated for prostate biopsies under local anesthesia with or without a virtual reality headset.No additional examination will be performed in addition to the conventional management of a biopsy except for the fitting of the headset for patients randomized to the "with virtual reality headset" group.
Patients will be randomized on the same day of the procedure into one of the two study groups.
A single follow-up visit will be performed postoperatively 1 month after surgery.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
To prospectively compare perioperative pain assessed in patients undergoing targeted prostate biopsies, transrectally or transperineally, under local anesthesia with or without a virtual reality hypnosis headset.
maximum pain felt during the procedure on a numerical EN scale, ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain). The values will be collected directly at the end of the procedure.
Measured: after the procedure
Secondary outcomes (12)
Pain after the procedure
Numerical scale 0-10 of pain upon discharge from the hospital
Measured: when leaving the hospital
Stress during the procedure
Numerical stress scale from 0 to 10 upon arrival of the patient, and 15 minutes after the procedure
Measured: after the procedure
Immersion during hypnosis
Immersion scale from 0 to 10 during hypnosis
Measured: at the procedure
Evaluation of the nociceptive response to painful stimuli
Heart rate variability (= HRV) on the ECG trace (in milliseconds)
Measured: during the procedure
Satisfaction with the procedure
Desire to repeat this method of anesthesia in the event of an iterative procedure versus general anesthesia (yes/no)
Measured: after the procedure
Duration of the procedure

Measured: after the procedure
Length of stay in hospital / outpatient care
Length of stay in day hospital or outpatient care, in minutes (Time leaving the room - Time entering the room)
Measured: at 1 month
Success of biopsies
Number of biopsies performed/planned (ratio), achievement of the MRI target (Yes/no)
Measured: at 1 month
Need for general anesthesia
Rate of need for general anesthesia (in %)
Measured: after the procedure
Pain upon returning home the same evening and on D1
Numerical pain scale 0-10 on returning home the same evening and on D1 collected in the patient notebook
Measured: after procedure, at 1 day after procedure
Adverse effects related to the procedure during one month
Patient notebook for collecting adverse effects for 1 month
Measured: at 1 month
Qualitative assessment of the patient's experience
