Interventions
The multisensory video is a short therapeutic and relaxing video designed to stimulate multiple senses-sight and hearing-simultaneously. It includes calming nature scenes, soft background music, and soothing narration to create a relaxing environment. The purpose of the multisensory video is to reduce anxiety, distract attention from the invasive procedure, and enhance patient comfort during the thyroid biopsy.
