First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study will use a special brain imaging technique (fNIRS) to measure how virtual reality (VR) changes brain activity and reduces pain in children aged 6-17 who have burn injuries. Four children will have their brain signals recorded during burn dressing changes with and without VR. The goal is to find brain-based markers that show how VR helps manage pain, which could lead to better pain treatments without drugs.
