About

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.
