Abstract

Using virtual reality (VR) for pain management in pediatric healthcare has gained attention as an innovative and effective approach. Numerous studies have explored the potential benefits of VR in reducing pain and anxiety among pediatric patients undergoing various medical procedures. Pediatric nurses need to be sensitive to pain in children as most of the times it can be under evaluated as they may not express or their expressions may be diverse. Parents need to be empowered to address the concerns related to pain in children as an utmost priority.
