Scientists scan Kids' brains to see how VR games fight pain

NCT ID NCT06854991

Summary

This study aims to understand how the brain reacts to pain and how virtual reality (VR) might help manage it. Researchers will use a special, safe brain scanner on 20 healthy children while they experience mild simulated pain and play different VR and iPad games. The goal is to find brain signals that could predict if VR will be an effective pain relief tool for future medical procedures.
