Research schematics derived from the paper
On June 21, a randomized clinical trial published on JAMA Network Open found that when children with burns changed their dressings, smartphone-based virtual reality (VR) games had a significant effect on reducing their pain
JAMA Network Open "According to statistics, there are about 250,000 children burns in the United States every year.
He said that previous studies have proposed other ways to reduce the pain of burn patients, mainly focusing on distractions, such as music, hypnosis, toys, and VR
In this study, 90 children with second-degree burns aged 6-17 years old were divided into three treatment groups: active VR group, passive VR group, and standard care group (such as using toys and iPad to distract attention)
The VR game designed by the research team is called "Virtual River Cruise", which mainly considers two factors.
After the intervention experiment, the researchers conducted a survey of pain perception and subjective experience of patients and their caregivers, and assessed them using the visual analogue scale (VAS, 10-100 points)
"Most patients and their caregivers said,'This game is fun, fascinating and realistic'
He said that the current opioid crisis has prompted us to use non-opioid methods to control the pain of burn patients.
