Non-pharmacological Methods for the Control of Anxiety and Pain During Outpatient Hysteroscopy

Non-pharmacological Methods for the Control of Anxiety and Pain During Outpatient Hysteroscopy (Metodiche Non Farmacologiche Per il Controllo di Ansia e Dolore Durante Isteroscopia Ambulatoriale)

The administration of pharmacological and non-pharmacological aids during in-office hysteroscopic surgery is often used to both relieve the patient from discomfort and facilitate the operator in performing the procedure. The investigators aim to test the hypothesis that watching a video clip or listening to music would act as non-pharmacological relief for reducing anxiety and pain during in-office hysteroscopy.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Premenopausal and postmenopausal women
• Indication for in-office operative hysteroscopy

Exclusion Criteria:
