Summary

This goal of this study is to assess whether lavender aromatherapy during gynecologic and urogynecologic outpatient procedures is associated with a decrease in patient anxiety levels. Based on similar interventions in other specialties of medicine, the investigators hypothesize that patients exposed to lavender aromatherapy during their procedure will have less anxiety than those who are not exposed to lavender aromatherapy.

Description

Patients who present to the Loyola Urogynecology office for an outpatient procedure will be invited to participate. Patients who consent to participate will be asked to complete pre-procedure questionnaires including an assessment of their level of procedural anxiety. Subsequently, patients will be randomized to receive either lavender aromatherapy or saline aromatherapy (placebo) during their procedure. Post-procedural levels of anxiety will then be assessed. Changes between pre- and post-procedural anxiety will be compared between the treatment and placebo control groups.
