This randomized controlled trial compares a non-invasive virtual reality mindfulness intervention to standard care for patients undergoing fertility-related surgeries. Participants aged 18–50 will be randomized to receive VR-based guided mindfulness sessions in the perioperative period or usual preoperative care, with measures taken before and after the procedure. Primary outcomes include anxiety levels, with secondary outcomes of pain perception, recovery duration, and overall patient satisfaction. Exclusion criteria include a history of motion sickness, significant cognitive or psychological conditions, or emergency procedures.
