We developed the Endocare treatment (Lucine, Bordeaux, France) specifically for this study (Figure 1). It was displayed through a VR headset (Oculus Quest) with high-quality headphones (APK K-240-MKII). Endocare is a standalone medical software device comprised of an application stored in a VR headset that is intended to mitigate pain for people prone to endometriosis. Endocare offers a 20-minute treatment consisting of a combination of auditory (eg, alpha/theta binaural beats, nature-based sounds) and visual (eg, bilateral alternative stimulations consisting of a sphere appearing and moving on a horizontal axis) therapeutic procedures integrated in a 3D VR environment.
