Summary
This study tests whether watching immersive 360-degree videos through a VR headset can reduce pain, anxiety, and the need for strong painkillers during dressing changes after burn surgery. About 80 adults who had skin grafts for burns will use VR during two dressing changes and report their pain and anxiety levels. The goal is to find a non-drug way to improve recovery and lower the risk of opioid dependence.
