View help for Summary
Objectives: Therapeutic virtual reality (VR) has emerged as an
effective, drug-free tool for pain management, but there is a lack of randomized,
controlled data evaluating its effectiveness in hospitalized patients. We
sought to measure the impact of on-demand VR versus “health and wellness”
television programming for pain in hospitalized patients.
Methods: We performed a prospective, randomized, comparative effectiveness trial in hospitalized patients with an average pain score of >3 out of 10 points. Patients in the experimental group received a library of 21 VR experiences administered using the Samsung Gear Oculus headset; control patients viewed specialized television programming to promote health and wellness. Clinical staff followed usual care; study interventions were not protocolized. The primary outcome was patient-reported pain using a numeric rating scale, as recorded by nursing staff during usual care. Pre- and post-intervention pain scores were compared immediately after initial treatment and after 48- and 72-hours.
