Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test if the use of virtual reality glasses reduces the pain and anxiety that children feel when they perform a blood test. Children between 7 and 12 years old from 5 health centers and 2 hospitals will participate, and the children will be divided into two groups. In the control group, the analysis will be done in the usual way (for example, distracting with questions) and in the intervention group, the analysis will be done while the children use virtual reality. The satisfaction of parents and nursing will also be analyzed.
