Summary
This study tested whether a virtual reality program that uses biofeedback (like calming games controlled by breathing) could help children and teens aged 12-18 manage pain after surgery. Researchers worked with 93 participants to see if the approach was practical and well-liked. The goal was to develop a better way to prepare kids for surgery and support their recovery without relying solely on medication.
