First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether virtual reality glasses or simple game cards can help children aged 5 to 10 feel less fear, anxiety, and pain during wound care. Ninety kids were split into three groups: standard care, care with game cards, or care with virtual reality. Researchers measured their fear, anxiety, pain, heart rate, and oxygen levels before and after treatment to see which distraction worked best.
