Virtual Reality vs. Standard-of-Care for Comfort During Laceration Repair

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Lacerations are a common reason for presentation to the Emergency Department and children needing laceration repair with sutures are experiencing pain and anxiety.

Virtual Reality (VR) 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.

This study will randomize children (6 - 16 years old) to receive Virtual Reality or standard of care in addition to pharmacoanalgesia during a laceration repair procedure. Investigators will measure pain, anxiety, satisfaction, amount of analgesia and the length of procedure and compare between the two groups.
