Summary

This study tests whether showing 3D hologram videos during burn dressing changes can reduce pain, anxiety, and fear in patients. 70 adults will be randomly assigned to either watch a hologram or receive standard care. The hologram projects interactive images into the air without any headset, aiming to distract patients from the painful procedure.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: 3D hologram video distraction
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a drug-free way to ease pain and anxiety during burn dressing changes, improving patient comfort and cooperation.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The hologram effect may not be strong enough to meaningfully reduce pain or anxiety.
