Virtual reality for reducing orthopedic pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if using a virtual reality headset can help reduce pain for people in the hospital with a broken bone. You would use the headset while resting or during procedures to see if it eases discomfort.
