Hypotheses H01; In the HSG procedure, there was no difference between the pain score of the virtual reality group and the pain score of the control group. H02; In the HSG procedure, there was no difference between the anxiety score of the virtual reality group and the anxiety score of the control group. H03; In the HSG procedure, there was no difference between the satisfaction score of the virtual reality group and the satisfaction score of the control group. H04; In the HSG procedure, there was no difference between the vital signs of the virtual reality group and the control group. H05; In the HSG procedure, there was no difference between the fear score of the virtual reality group and the fear score of the control group. The study will be carried out in two different groups. The practice will start with meeting the women who apply to the Radiology clinic for an HSG. After the women are evaluated in terms of eligibility criteria for the research, the women who are eligible will be informed about the research and written informed consent will be obtained from the women who accept. The random distribution of women to the study groups will be carried out using the Block Randomization method. The following applications will be made to the groups.

Virtual reality glasses is a device that works on compatible smart mobile phones. After being taken to the gynecological table for the HSG procedure, the women included in the experimental group will be made to watch a video lasting an average of 10 minutes with virtual reality glasses until the procedure is completed. While watching the video, the relaxing music of the video will be played in the practice room with a bluetooth speaker.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
