Nationwide Children's Hospital
The goal of the project is to implement virtual reality for pain and anxiety management for patients undergoing intra-articular glucocorticoid injections in the outpatient pediatric rheumatology clinic.
To assess feasibility of VR use in the clinic, 10 patients will be recruited to use VR during non-sedated intra-articular (IA) glucocorticoid injections. All patients will be offered our typical analgesia (LMX topical cream, freeze spray, lidocaine injection). Patients and caregivers will be asked to fill out pre-injection and post-injection surveys, and staff (rheumatology clinic nurses) will be asked for feedback regarding feasibility of VR in clinical workflows. The specific aims of the study are to: Aim 1: Assess the feasibility and efficacy of VR use to reduce pain in patients undergoin…
