Technology-Based Distractions During Minor Procedures
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT03628989
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine if non-invasive distracting devices (Virtual
Reality headset, Augmented Reality Headset) are more effective than the standard of care
(i.e., no technology-based distraction) for decreasing anxiety and pain scores in pediatric
patients undergoing various minor procedures (i.e lumbar punctures and cardiac
catheterization). The anticipated primary outcome will be a reduction of overall cumulative
medication and secondary outcomes include but are not limited to: physician satisfaction,
discharge time, pain scores, anxiety scores, and procedure time.
