Study Summary

This trial aims to use a special kind of scan called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to find and measure pain signals when patients with burns are having their dressings changed. They

Who is the study for?

This trial is for children aged 6-17 with acute burn injuries being treated at NCH burn unit, who need daily dressing changes over three days. Participants must be able to communicate in English. It's not suitable for those with motion sickness, seizures, dizziness from visual auras, or cognitive impairments that prevent study participation.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests how well virtual reality (VR) can help manage pain during burn dressing changes by using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to track brain signals and identify pain biomarkers.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the intervention involves VR technology, potential side effects may include temporary discomfort like nausea or dizziness due to motion sickness but are generally minimal as no drugs or invasive procedures are involved.
