Summary

This trial tests whether watching an entertaining video through virtual reality glasses or on a tablet can reduce pain, anxiety, and fear in children aged 7 to 12 during intravenous (IV) cannulation in an emergency department. Children are randomly assigned to one of three groups: virtual reality, tablet, or routine care. The study measures pain, anxiety, and fear using validated scales to see if these distraction methods help compared to standard care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

What this could lead to
If effective, these distraction methods could offer simple, drug-free ways to reduce pain and anxiety for children during medical procedures.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small and results may not apply to all children or settings. The effectiveness of distraction can vary widely between individuals.
