The Impact of Virtual Reality Therapy on Pain Management in Pediatric Patients

Project Abstract

Pain management in pediatric patients is a critical aspect of healthcare, as children often experience pain during medical procedures or as a result of various medical conditions. Virtual reality (VR) therapy has emerged as a promising intervention for pain management in pediatric patients due to its immersive and distraction-inducing nature. This research project aims to investigate the impact of virtual reality therapy on pain management in pediatric patients.
