Virtual Reality Technology for Vasectomy Pain Modulation
This study will evaluate whether or not wearing a virtual reality (VR) headset reduces pain and anxiety in patients undergoing vasectomy. The headset being used is the SmileyScope virtual reality interface, a device already undergoing study for approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reduce pain and anxiety in patients aged 4 years and older undergoing needle blood draw or injection procedures. In this study, the SmileyScope virtual reality interface is considered an investigational device because it is not yet approved for use in adult males undergoing vasectomy.
