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 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.
