In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a virtual reality (VR) program (TRIPP) can reduce pain, anxiety, and distress in adult men (aged 18+) undergoing a vasectomy under local anesthesia. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does using VR during a vasectomy lower patients' pain during the procedure compared to standard care? * Does VR reduce anxiety and distress compared to standard care? * Are patients more satisfied with their experience when using VR compared to standard care? Researchers will compare two groups: * VR group: Patients will use a VR headset with a guided meditation program (TRIPP) during their vasectomy. * Control group: Patients will receive standard care (no VR). Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either the VR group or control group. * Complete brief questionnaires before, during, and after the procedure (about 15-20 minutes each time).
