Virtual Reality for Pain Management in Burn Patients

Summary

This study is a randomized proof-of-concept study to assess the efficacy of Virtual Reality (VR) vs standard of care in 50 adult patients in the New York Presbyterian Burn Unit. The participants who are randomized to receive the virtual reality intervention will also receive opioids, which is the standard of care and is known to be effective. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups. The first group will receive VR during their painful procedure (e.g., wound dressing changes, physical therapy etc.) in addition to the standard of care.
