Patient Experience

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a Virtual Reality (VR)-based mindfulness and meditation intervention in reducing anxiety among patients undergoing fertility-related surgical procedures. Anxiety is a common challenge in fertility treatments, often leading to emotional distress and increased pain perception. By incorporating a non-invasive VR intervention, the investigators seek to improve patient experience, minimize preoperative anxiety, and potentially reduce postoperative discomfort and recovery times. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will compare standard care with a VR intervention in a clinical setting, measuring key outcomes such as anxiety levels, pain perception, recovery duration, and overall patient satisfaction. The findings may contribute to more patient centered fertility care, offering an innovative, scalable, and cost-effective approach to anxiety management in reproductive medicine.

Airway management problems are key drivers for anesthesia-related adverse events. Awake tracheal intubation using flexible bronchoscopy and preserved spontaneous breathing (ATI:FB) is a recommended technique to manage difficult tracheal intubation in anaesthesia, intensive care and emergency medicine. ATI:FB is regarded as the gold standard of tracheal intubation in many scenarios, however there is insufficient data on the patients experience while undergoing this form of airway management. ATI:FB can be facilitated using either a transnasal or transoral route. The study aims to compare patient-centred and operator-focused outcome parameters between these two different approaches with a focus on patient discomfort.

Many factors influence the quality and duration of SomatoSensory Evoked potentials (SSEP). Some are related to the technique : type of electrodes, intensity of stimulation, stimulation site ; others are related to the patient : poor state of relaxation of the patient generating muscle artefacts; hypersensitivity of the patient to electrical stimuli making the examination unpleasant; examination time considered too long. However, the patient's relaxed state is essential to the quality of the signal . Thus the duration of an examination is very variable : between 30 and 75 minutes for the upper limbs.... For several months, the investigators provide relaxation to some patients just before the examination. Results seem to be positive. The investigators aim to study the effect of relaxation session on the quality of the SSEP recordings. Fifteen-minutes relaxation session will be provided by a nurse trained to the relaxation. The investigators will compare two groups : one group with one relaxation session before the examination and one group without relaxation session before the examination. The investigators chose to study the influence of relaxation session on (i) the artifacts rejection rate by the machine for the recordings of SSEP by stimulation of the median nerve to the upper limbs (ii) the duration of the examination (iii) the patient experience

The study will gather data on patient reported experience (PREM) before, during and after dental implant treatment. Patients scheduled in three treatment groups for either single tooth, multiple teeth or full-arch dental rehabilitation are included in the study and will be treated according standard of care. Additionally, they are asked to report their experience based on pre-defined questionnaire assessing patient acceptance of implant treatment in dentistry. Patients will be followed-up until 1-Year post Final Prosthesis Delivery. This studies primary endpoint is the completion of the PREM questionnaires. The study is not intended to investigate safety and performance of the used medical devices.
