Evaluation of Immersion in Virtual Reality in the Management of Anxiety, Then Pain, of Patients in Interventional Imaging.

University Hospital, Caen150 enrolled

Overview

Investigators propose to use static VR scenarios, adapted to the patient's preferences (sea, mountain, countryside…) to immerse them in an emotionally positive environment. The objective is to reduce the anxiety and pain associated with IR acts in the operating room. Hypothesis tested: The use of the 3D immersion of an oculus rift DK2 virtual reality headset during an interventional radiology intervention would reduce the anxiety felt by patients by 25%, evaluated by the STAI YB scale. The correlation between the STAI YB and the APAIS and HAD scales will also be tested.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients (18-80 years old) with an indication for performing one of the following interventional radiology procedures, according to HAS recommendations: Liver biopsy puncture, embolization of varicoceles, embolization of pelvic varices, embolization of uterine fibroids, Hepatic arterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma, radioembolization. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant or breastfeeding women. * Minor or age \> 80 years. * People suffering from psychiatric pathologies, chronic depressive syndrome or chronic anxiety disorder. * People with a high risk of motion sickness during virtual reality immersion (MMSQ and VIMSSQ \> 80th percentile).

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

anxiety measured with STAI Y-B

For the main objective, the STAI Y-B will be used to assess reactive anxiety as close as possible to the interventional gesture, i.e. just after it.

Time frame: once (as close as possible to the interventional gesture, i.e. just after it.)
