What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This randomized controlled trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy of immersive virtual reality (VR) as an adjunct to standard analgesia during dressing changes in adult burn patients. The study compares an intervention group receiving standard care combined with an immersive VR distraction (using a head-mounted display displaying an engaging virtual environment) versus a control group receiving standard care plus non-VR distraction (watching a nature video on a tablet). The primary outcomes include procedural pain intensity measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and anxiety levels measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Secondary outcomes include patient satisfaction and physiological parameters (heart rate and blood pressure) recorded during the procedure. This trial addresses the critical gap of heterogeneity and small sample sizes noted in previous VR studies for
