Analgesic Use of Virtual Reality for Burn Dressing Changes in Low- and Middle-income Countries: A Feasibility Study
Our results of this proof-of-concept case series to suggest both feasibility of use and positive influence on patient discomfort and periprocedural satisfaction. We propose that VR should be explored as an analgesic alternative and/or adjunct to narcotics in resource-limited countries, particularly for high-pain, low-duration procedures.
