The Effect of Virtual Reality Glasses on Applied During Thyroid Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy on Anxiety Level, Pain Intensity and Patient Satisfaction
Beginning 1-2 minute before the start of the procedure, the patients will be watched (5-10 minutes) with an android mobile phone inserted into the Cardboard Super Flex Binoculars Glasses.
203 studies on the registry are indexed under Thyroid Nodule; 57 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 80 is close to the median of 80 across 120 interventional studies indexed under Thyroid Nodule.

Visual Analog Scale
The patients were asked to mark their level of pain during relaxation or activities on a 10 cm vertical or horizontal line. In addition, there were forms which were numbered from 1-10 or from 1-100. The number 0 is found at the beginning of the line, and the number 10 is located at the end of the line. A value of 0 shows that there is no pain, and the value 10 expresses unendurable pain. VAS is a common scale in the assessment of pain level. A patient is asked to mark the perceived pain on this line, and the marked point is measured in cm
Time frame: Baseline, pre-intervention (Before Thyroid Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy)

State-trait anxiety inventory (STAI FORM TX-1)
State anxiety refers to transient emotional reactions manifested by the individual to on constant situations with varying intensity depending on the situation. In situations where the individual perceives the stressful situation as a threat, the level of "state anxiety" is high and in situations where this danger is not perceived as threatening, the level of state anxiety is low. The state anxiety inventory requires the individual to describe how they feel at a given moment and under certain circumstances, taking into account their feelings about the situation in which they are in. It measures the state of the individual, that is, the level of anxiety in which they are currently in. The intensity of the instantaneous stress, anxiety, and excitement responses caused by conditions increases or decreases over time. Individuals respond to the items on the inventory based on the degree of severity of their emotions at the moment.

Physiological Symptoms of Anxiety Follow-up Form
This form was created by the researcher to record blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) value.

Ran from Jan 2024 to primary completion in Apr 2024, 3 months.
Of 62 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Thyroid Nodule, half reached primary completion within 28 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 35. This study's 3 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 65 studies reached it within 29 months; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 35.
