Summary

This study tests whether using a virtual reality headset showing calming scenes (like puppies in a meadow) can reduce pain and discomfort for older adults in long-term care during wound dressing changes. Up to 20 residents will use VR for two weeks, with pain and mood measured before, during, and after. The goal is to see if this simple, drug-free distraction can make wound care less distressing.
