Effect of Virtual Reality-Based Interventions on Pain During Wound Care in Burn Patients a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

This systematic meta-analysis examined how virtual reality (VR) technology improved pain experienced by 1,293 burn patients. Overall, 22 interventions significantly reduced pain, 7 did not affect pain, and one increased it. The authors recommend providing VR devices to burn wards for patients to reduce pain particularly during bandage changes and other wound care treatments.
