About The Study: In this randomized clinical trial, integrating procedural information and distraction in an immersive virtual reality (IVR) intervention for pediatric patients undergoing a blood draw significantly improved pain and anxiety in the IVR group compared with the control group. The results shed light on the global trends of research on IVR and its clinical development as an intervention for other painful and stressful medical procedures.
