How Young is Too Young for Virtual Reality? Determining Usability and Acceptability in Ages 2-6 in the Emergency Department

Child, Preschool Clinical Trial

Official title:
How Young is Too Young for Virtual Reality ? Determination of the Usability and Acceptability of Virtual Reality for Health Care Purposes Among Children 2-6 Years of Age in the Emergency Department

Clinical Trial Summary

Children who present to the emergency department often require painful procedures (intravenous catheterization, laceration repair, fracture reduction, etc.). Virtual reality (VR) has been presented as a way of managing pain and anxiety in children undergoing painful procedures but most studies are limited to children 6 or older. The present study seeks to determine the youngest age (2-6) of future subjects in research of VR and clinical care.

Virtual Reality is an immersive experience using sight, sound, and position sense. Using VR may enhance distraction during the painful procedure and may reduce attention to pain.

Investigators will instruct and observe children age 2-6 in using a VR device and document how easy the device is to use for the child. The children will have the opportunity to select an application and play with the device for 10 minutes before being asked about their experience with the device. Parents/Guardians will also be asked about their child's experience with the device.
