Summary
This study tested whether playing interactive virtual reality games could help children feel less pain and anxiety during kidney biopsies. Researchers offered VR headsets to 32 children aged 5-17 as an alternative or addition to sedating medications. The goal was to see if this distraction technique could make the procedure easier for kids while potentially reducing medication side effects.
