Virtual pain care for people getting wound treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a virtual (VR) pain-care approach during wound care procedures. It may help reduce how painful the treatments feel, especially for people who have had very painful wound care before.
