VR-based comfort care during complex wound procedures
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies a non-medicine way to reduce pain during complex wound care, possibly using VR or similar distraction tools. You may be able to join if you have painful wound procedures and can safely use the VR setup.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and getting wound care now
- You will have 1 to 3 complex wound care procedures back-to-back before you go home
- At least one past wound care procedure was very painful (pain score 4 or higher on a 0–10 scale)
- You can understand and read/write Dutch at a basic level
- You have no conditions that make the VR or headphones unsafe or impossible (like severe dizziness, no sensation in the wound area, or claustrophobia)
