Summary
This study tested whether using virtual reality during trigger point injections can lower patients' pain, anxiety, and improve comfort. 84 adults receiving their first trigger point injection were split into two groups: one used VR during the procedure, the other did not. Researchers measured anxiety, comfort, and pain levels before and after the injection to see if VR made a difference.
