Summary

This study tests whether watching immersive 360-degree videos through a VR headset can reduce pain, anxiety, and the need for strong painkillers during dressing changes after burn surgery. About 80 adults who had skin grafts will try the VR distraction tool. The goal is to find a non-drug way to make these painful procedures easier and lower the risk of opioid dependence.
