Virtual worlds fight real pain in sickle cell trial

NCT ID NCT03353584

Summary

This study is testing whether adding virtual reality (VR) to standard pain treatment helps children and young adults with sickle cell disease during painful crises. Participants receive either standard care alone or standard care plus a 15-minute VR session designed to distract from pain. Researchers will compare pain scores and medication use between the two groups to see if VR provides additional relief.
