Study Summary

This trial will assess whether technology-based interventions can help reduce postoperative pain in children, and whether using behavioral economic strategies can help recruit pediatric patients into the trial.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for kids aged 12-18 who are having surgery that needs painkillers and a hospital stay. They must be able to read, understand, and speak English. It's not for those who regularly take opioids or benzodiazepines, have developmental delays, uncontrolled mental health issues, neurological conditions like epilepsy, history of chronic pain or severe vertigo.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if using behavioral economic strategies helps get more young patients into a trial. It also looks at how tech-based tools like virtual reality biofeedback (VR-BF) and an app called Manage My Pain affect post-surgery pain management.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort from wearing the VR headset after head/neck surgeries or experiencing motion sickness with VR use. The 'Manage My Pain' app itself does not have physical side effects but could impact patient behavior regarding pain management.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Placebo Group
Group I: Phase 2 - Manage My Pain BEExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
We are applying Behavioral Economics (BE)-based messaging and presentation strategies to patient recruitment and determining whether these strategies may enhance patient recruitment into a pediatric randomized clinical trial. Phase 2 will focus on patients that would be enrolled into the control arm of a clinical trial with a control intervention, Manage My Pain application.
Group II: Phase 1 - VR-BF BEExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
We are applying Behavioral Economics (BE)-based messaging and presentation strategies to patient recruitment and determining whether these strategies may enhance patient recruitment into a pediatric randomized clinical trial. Phase 1 will focus on patients that would be enrolled into a biofeedback-based virtual reality (VR-BF) arm.
Group III: Phase 1 - VR-BF BiologicalActive Control1 Intervention
A similar to BE-based recruitment video using a standard biological approach on teenagers' decision to enroll in a clinical study will be used as comparison. Phase 1 will focus on patients that would be enrolled into a biofeedback-based virtual reality (VR-BF) arm.
Group IV: Phase 2 - Manage My Pain BiologicalPlacebo Group1 Intervention
A similar to BE-based recruitment video using a standard biological approach on teenagers' decision to enroll in a clinical study will be used as comparison. Phase 2 will focus on patients that would be enrolled into the control arm of a clinical trial with a control intervention, Manage My Pain application.
