Article Synopsis
- Medical procedures can cause significant pain and anxiety in patients, potentially leading to long-term negative effects if not managed properly.
- A study aimed to compare the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) headsets and noise-canceling headphones (HP) against standard treatment (TAU) in alleviating pain and anxiety for children undergoing dermatology procedures.
- Results showed that both VR and HP significantly reduced anxiety levels from before to after the procedures, whereas the TAU group did not experience the same reduction, highlighting the potential benefits of technology-based interventions in pediatric care.
