Virtual Reality MObility for Burn Patients

Patients in this group will be offered to use Oculus Rift goggles while undergoing the burn treatments, dressing changes and hydrotherapy to reduce pain and anxiety during treatment. The goggles will display Dreamland, a virtual reality videogame created by our team to maximize fun, diminish difficulty, and motion sickness. The system will be available 5 minutes before treatment to the patient in order to ease acclimatation to the goggles until the end of the treatment session.

"Standard pharmacological care as per the unit's protocol will serve as the control for half of the duration of every treatment session. It consists of different analgesic and sedative medication used in combination in order to help patients go through the procedure. The unit's protocol includes drugs such as Morphine, Hydromorphone, Fentanyl, Clonidine, Ketamine, Midazolam and Acetaminophen.~Use of any co-interventions for pain or anxiety management (music, comforting, child life specialist or other) during this sequence will be documented."
