One of the non-pharmacological methods in the management, control and reduction of labor pain is the application of virtual reality glasses. Non-pharmacological methods applied by midwives in obstetrics clinics are preferred because they do not have any side effects to the mother and fetus, their cost is very low and they are easy to apply.
