VR goggles calm Kids' surgery jitters, cut pain

NCT ID NCT07415343

Summary

This study tested if watching an educational animation through virtual reality (VR) goggles could help children feel less scared before surgery and have less pain afterward. Seventy-four children aged 5 to 12, having surgery for the first time, were randomly assigned to either use the VR or receive standard care. The results showed that children who used VR had significantly lower pain scores after surgery and reported feeling less scared after the VR experience compared to before.
