Virtual reality goggles tested to ease pain of back injections
NCT ID NCT05505968
Summary
This study tested whether using a virtual reality headset could help reduce pain and anxiety for patients receiving epidural injections for lower back and leg pain. 116 patients were randomly assigned to receive their first injection with VR and their second without, or vice versa. The goal was to see if the immersive distraction of VR made the potentially painful medical procedure easier to tolerate.
