Trait-anxiety and state-anxiety. Trait-STAI questionnaire (how one generally feels) was filled out at the recruitment visit, while the State-STAI questionnaire (how one feels at the moment) was filled out just after the test. We can see how in the HSG group, anxiety increases following the procedure, while in the HyFoSy group it decreases. The median Trait-STAI score in the HSG group was 15 (11; 21) versus 13 (9; 17) in the HyFoSy group (p = 0.044); the median State-STAI score in the HSG group was 18 points (10; 26) versus 10 (7; 16) in the HyFoSy group (p < 0.001)
