Summary
This study tested whether playing a special augmented reality scavenger hunt game could help children with cancer feel less pain and need fewer opioid painkillers after surgery. Researchers compared the game to a regular non-AR game in 29 children aged 5-15. The goal was to see if the immersive game could improve recovery and reduce reliance on strong pain medications.
