Clinical Trial Summary

The Purpose of the study is to determine the effect of virtual reality exercise on pain and shoulder range of motion in pediatrics with 2nd-degree anterior shoulder burn injuries.


Clinical Trial Description

Burns are an important cause of injury to young children, being the third most frequent cause of injury resulting in death behind motor vehicle accidents and drowning. Burn injuries account for the greatest length of stay of all hospital admissions for injuries and costs associated with care are substantial. The majority of burn injuries in children are scald injuries resulting from hot liquids, occurring most commonly in children aged 0-4 years. Other types of burns include electrical, chemical and intentional injury. Mechanisms of injury are often unique to children and involve exploratory behavior without the requisite comprehension of the dangers in their environment. Immersive virtual reality (VR) is a new form of cognitive distraction and has been found to be an effective adjunctive, nonpharmacologic analgesic for postburn physical therapy. The VR gives the individual the illusion of "going into" the 3-dimensional computer generated environment, as if it were a place in which they are actually physically present. The strength of the presence is thought to reflect the amount of attention that is drawn into the virtual world. Because VR is a highly attention-grabbing experience, it can be an effective psychological pain control technique. Less attention to pain can result in reductions in pain intensity, unpleasantness, and the amount of time patients spend thinking about their pain. ;
