“…Among the 18 articles that were reviewed, VR interventions for pain or anxiety were attributed to a wide range of medical treatment in children: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radiology examinations [17]; wound debridement [18], specifically, burn wound [19][20][21][22]; venipuncture [23,24]; phlebotomy or blood draw [25,26]; cold pressor experiment [27]; preoperative care in hospital and anesthesia [28,29]; cancer treatment and chemotherapy [30,31]; injection, for instance, botulinum toxin [32]; and local anesthesia in dental care [33]. One study described the design of a VR app for broadly defined medical procedures, without specifying one [34].…”

“…Among those that specified a procedure, 7 articles addressed pain directly [18,21,24,26,33], whereas 6 articles addressed anxiety associated with pain during a procedure [20,22,23,25,32]. In addition, 4 articles addressed anxiety linked to a medical procedure [17,[28][29][30].…”

“…Grishchenko et al [34] also suggested that relaxing audio can assist with regulating pain or anxiety and block anxiety-inducing noises of medical treatment. This point was also emphasized by Birnie et al [30] and Ko et al [22]. Finally, some articles used exposure to potentially distressing stimulus in a safe environment to alleviate fear and anxiety before the medical appointment.…”

“…Outcomes were not consistently or systematically assessed among the reviewed studies. In all, 3 papers described the design of a VR app but did not test the outcome [22,28,34]. Others used interview and focus groups [31] and feedback on the usability and experiences of users [21] or caregivers [32] and used that feedback to tailor the design to children's needs [30].…”

Some examples included hunting for treasures along a journey [27,34]; adventure [22,30]; playful interaction with animal characters; farming vegetables [31]; and shooting snowballs [18,24] or rainbow balls [30], or cannons [25] at animated objects.…”

Background Virtual reality (VR) technology has been explored in the health sector as a novel tool for supporting treatment side effects, including managing pain and anxiety. VR has recently become more available with the launch of low-cost devices and apps. Objective This study aimed to provide an updated review of the research into VR use for pain and anxiety in pediatric patients undergoing medical procedures. Methods We performed a scoping review. To identify relevant studies, we searched three electronic databases. Two authors screened the titles and abstracts for relevance and eligibility criteria. Results Overall, 1386 articles were identified. In total, 18 articles were included in the review. Articles were published in English between 2013 and 2018. Our review determined that VR technology was being administered in a range of situations to modulate acute and chronic pain or anxiety, needle phobia, and procedural care in children and adolescents. We identified 9 articles that designed the bespoke VR apps. The findings were analyzed to develop a holistic model and describe the product, experience, and intervention aspects that need to be considered in designing such medical VR apps. Conclusions VR has been demonstrated to be effective for managing pain and anxiety in a variety of populations. However, design strategies are limited beyond distraction techniques. We propose future VR interventions to explore skill-building goals in apps characterized by dynamic feedback to the patient and experiential and product qualities that enable them to be active participants in managing their own care. To achieve this, design must be part of the development.
