Summary

This study will test whether watching a virtual reality movie or using a vibrating Buzzy device can reduce pain, fear, and anxiety in children aged 7 to 10 during allergy skin prick tests. About 111 children will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: virtual reality, Buzzy, or standard care. Researchers will measure anxiety, fear, and pain using child-friendly scales.
