Sponsor's own description
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.
