Dear editor, we have read with interest the study by Deo et al.published in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology 1. We have noted that although the control and VR group were ‘comparable’ regarding previous hysteroscopies, differences in baseline pain expectation scores between patients with a previous hysteroscopy and those without were not given. Each patient has an individual pain experience during hysteroscopy, some may not experience any pain at all, whereas others feel pain during cervical manipulation, distension of the uterus, during pipelle biopsy or delayed pain due to the release of prostaglandins2. Therefore, it could be possible the VR group has patients who do not experience any pain at all. It would be beneficial to know if there was any difference in pain expectation scores between those with prior experience of hysteroscopy and those without. A further study with a group known to have painful hysteroscopies could be of immense clinical value, as this group of patients may experience the greatest benefit.Furthermore, it is mentioned that ‘patients were instructed to self administer analgesics prior to the procedure (either paracetamol or non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)’ . It would be useful to ask the patients which specific analgesic they took, the dosage and how long before the procedure they took the medication. As use of analgesia prior to the procedure could potentially affect the pain perceived and therefore the pain scores in both groups; potentially being a confounding factor. Having more information about analgesia used prior to the procedure could allow clinicians to identify significant differences between cohorts with regards to analgesia use and signify a possible correlation to pain scores.Finally, it is mentioned that one patient in the VR group had a previous history of claustrophobia and decided to remove the headset when the procedure started as she felt claustrophobic. Therefore, the patient would not have experienced VR throughout the procedure, rather only for a small period of time, potentially effecting the reported pain score for that patient and the larger results as study populations were only 20 patients per cohort. To avoid this, the patient could have perhaps not been included in the results.Disclosure of Interests: No conflicts to declare.Contribution to Authorship: All authors were involved in the conception, analysis, drafting of intellectual content and final approval of this correspondence letter.
