“…We were not able to find any difference in our prime outcome pain and patient satisfaction between the two groups despite research suggesting that VR has a reducing effect on pain and anxiety compared to standard treatment or other distraction. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Also, in a recent review published in 2021 the benefits of using VR were shown in significant reduced pain scores. 11 Most studies with small sample sizes were found to be unclear about risk of selection bias and to have a high risk of performance and detection bias.…”

“…Randomized controlled trials have examined the effects of VR as a pain and anxiety‐reducing intervention in different contexts and patient groups. Research suggests that VR has a reducing effect on pain and anxiety compared to standard treatment or other distraction 11–19 . Most VR studies only included children older than 7 years.…”

[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Most VR studies only included children older than 7 years. However, children under 7 years might also benefit from using VR as distraction during needle puncture procedures as documented by Chan et al who included children aged 4-11 years in their study.…”

Background and Objectives: Pain management in children is often inadequate, and the single most common painful procedure in children who are hospitalized is needle procedures. Virtual reality (VR) has been shown to decrease anxiety and pain in children undergoing painful procedures primarily in children from the age of 7 years. Our aim for this study is to investigate patient satisfaction and pain reduction by using a three-dimensional VR interactive game as a distraction in 4-7 years old children during venous cannulation.Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, we enrolled 106 children aged 4-7 years who were scheduled for venous cannulation. Patients assigned to the control group were adherent to standard of care, including topical numbing cream, positioning, and distraction in this group by games of choice on a tablet/smartphone. In the study group, children were adherent to standard of care and were distracted by an interactive VR game. Primary outcomes were patient satisfaction and the procedural pain assessed by using Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale; secondary outcomes were the procedural time and any adverse events. Results:We found an overall high level of patient satisfaction with our regime of topical numbing cream, positioning, and distraction. The primary outcome of pain during the procedure was median 20 mm (IQR 0-40) and 20 mm (IQR 0-55) (Wong-Baker 0-100 mm) in the VR group and the control group, respectively (difference: 0 mm, 95% CI: 0-20, p = .19). No significant difference was found in procedural times. The number of adverse effects was low, with no significant difference between the two groups.Conclusions: VR distraction is an acceptable form of distraction for children 4-7 years old when combined with topical numbing cream and positioning during preoperative venous cannulation. No difference was found between VR-and smartphone/tablet distraction.

“…Deo et al found that women using VR during hysteroscopy experienced less pain 32 . It was reported that the use of VR in pediatric patients during IV administration 21,33 in burn treatment and dressing change 34,35 reduced the level of pain. In fact, Clark defined VR as virtual pain relief 36 .…”

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effect of virtual reality used during hysterosalpingography on perceived pain, anxiety, fear, physiological parameters, and satisfaction in women. Design: A randomized controlled trial design was used in the study. The CONSORT statement was used to report the findings. Setting: Ankara University Faculty of Medicine Hospital. Methods: The study was conducted between April 26 and June 30, 2022. Patients were randomized into two groups (the virtual reality=31, the control group=31). Main outcome measures: Anxiety was evaluated using the State Anxiety Inventory; pain, fear, satisfaction were evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale; the temperature, pulse, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation were followed up. Results: The difference between the virtual reality group and the control group in terms of their mean pain and fear scores during hysterosalpingography and 15 minutes after hysterosalpingography was statistically significant. The difference between the mean anxiety scores of the groups was statistically insignificant. The difference between the groups in terms of satisfaction with the hysterosalpingography procedure was statistically significant. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of their physiological parameters just before, immediately after, and 15 minutes after the hysterosalpingography procedure. Conclusions: In this study, it was determined that the use of virtual reality during the hysterosalpingography procedure reduced pain and fear, increased satisfaction, but did not affect anxiety and vital signs. In addition, women’s satisfaction with the use of virtual reality was high.
