Use of Biofeedback-Based Virtual Reality in Pediatric Perioperative and Postoperative Settings: Observational Study

Use of Biofeedback-Based Virtual Reality in Pediatric Perioperative and Postoperative Settings: Observational Study

Boxplots of (A) number of sessions, (B) average session duration, (C) percentage of session achieving target, and (D) histogram of the first session number to achieve target using patient-level data. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test showed that the number of sessions completed by patients who achieved target HRV (median 4, IQR 2-6) was significantly higher than those who did not reach the target HRV in any of the sessions (median 1.5, IQR 1-2, P=.003; Table 2).

Guided Relaxation–Based Virtual Reality for Acute Postoperative Pain and Anxiety in a Pediatric Population: Pilot Observational Study

Guided Relaxation–Based Virtual Reality for Acute Postoperative Pain and Anxiety in a Pediatric Population: Pilot Observational Study

The use of distraction–based VR (VR-D) has been used to reduce pain in acute procedural, postoperative, and labor pain management by redirecting attention (eg, distraction) [8-14]. These transient reductions are sufficient for short-term reductions in pain, but they are not sufficient to treat prolonged acute pain experiences [15,16], including postoperative pain.

Leveraging Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality to Combat Chronic Pain in Youth: Position Paper From the Interdisciplinary Network on Virtual and Augmented Technologies for Pain Management

Leveraging Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality to Combat Chronic Pain in Youth: Position Paper From the Interdisciplinary Network on Virtual and Augmented Technologies for Pain Management

Our team has conducted 2 pilot studies in children with moderate to severe pain after surgery, one of which used distraction-based virtual reality (VR-D) and guided-relaxation virtual reality (VR-GR) using the Mindful Aurora app [30-32]. This pilot study demonstrated that a single, postoperative session of both VR-D and VR-GR was associated with small changes in pain and anxiety lasting up to 30 minutes.
