Nationwide Children's Hospital
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of smartphone Virtual Reality Pain Alleviation Therapy (VR-PAT) as a pain distraction tool during repeated at-home burn dressing changes among 100 children (age 6-17 years) with a burn injury in comparison to 100 children with a burn injury who do not use the VR-PAT.
In this two-group randomized clinical trial, participants will be randomly assigned to either the VR-PAT intervention group or control group (standard distraction techniques available in the home). Participants and caregivers in both groups will perform daily burn dressing changes (as prescribed by their physician) and afterward will answer questions about their pain and any medications used. Participants and caregivers in the intervention group will answer additional questions about their experience using the VR-PAT, ease of use, and helpfulness. Surveys will be repeated with each dressing ch…
