摘要

Background: Patients having radiation therapy treatment to the prostate may require invasive preparation procedures under local anesthesia (LA), such as the insertion of gold seeds into the prostate or targeted biopsies. These procedures can induce pain and anxiety for some patients. Virtual Reality Hypnosis (VRH) is the combination of a 360-degree video display with audio and mental guides for relaxation and distraction during medical procedures. The objective of this research was to assess the level of patient interest in the use of VRH during gold seed insertion and biopsy, and to identify a subset of patients that would be most likely to benefit from the use of VRH. Methods: This single arm, prospective pilot study included patients who were receiving biopsy and/or gold seed insertion using a 2-step LA procedure. Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire about their level of knowledge and interest in VRH before and after their procedure. At the same time, pain and anxiety levels were collected before and after the procedure, as well as during each LA step and at the mid-seed drop/biopsy core extraction. A visual analogue scale for pain and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network's Distress Thermometer were used to verbally rate pain and distress respectively. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation coefficient were calculated for all variables of interest. Results: 24 patients were recruited and 1 had their procedure cancelled, so a total of 23 patients completed this study. 74 of patients (n=23) agreed to try VRH before their procedures, whereas 65 of patients (n=23) were willing to try VRH after the procedure. Pain scores were highest at deep LA injection (mean= 5.48, SD= 2.56) and distress scores were also highest at deep LA injection (mean= 4.28, SD= 2.92). After the procedure, 83 of participants with pain scores above the mean at deep LA injection and 80 with anxiety scores above the mean at deep LA injection agreed that they would be willing to try VRH. Conclusions: Patients with higher pain and distress scores had more interest in trying VRH with the standard LA for gold seed insertion/biopsy procedures. Patients with a history of lower pain tolerance or who express having experienced high levels of pain during previous biopsies will be the target population for using VRH in future trials to determine feasibility and effectiveness.
