Virtual worlds ease real pain for kids in cancer treatment

NCT ID NCT05592132

Summary

This study is testing whether using a virtual reality (VR) headset during painful medical procedures can help reduce pain for children and teenagers with cancer. About 74 young patients will be randomly assigned to either use a VR helmet along with standard pain care or receive standard care alone during procedures like spinal taps or bone marrow tests. The main goal is to see if the immersive VR experience leads to lower pain scores reported by the children themselves.
