Summary

A randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of the VR-based Pain Alleviation Tool (VR-PAT) in reducing opioid pain medication use during adult burn dressing changes.

Detailed description

A pilot three group gender-balanced randomized clinical trial (RCT) among adult burn patients (18 years old or above) at OSU Medical Center Inpatient Burn Program. The intervention group will receive VR-PAT as a distraction tool during the dressing change procedure (active VR group) while the comparison groups will receive either a comparable passive VR distraction tool that uses the same hardware and visual/audio features, but requires no active interaction (Control Group 1), or no distraction at all (Control Group 2).
