Summary

The investigators propose a pilot study to examine the feasibility of utilizing immersive virtual reality to reduce procedural anxiety in children undergoing non-facial laceration repair in the Pediatric Emergency Department.

The investigators hypothesize that virtual reality will be well-received by patients and their caregivers, and that the anxiety provoked by laceration repair will be mitigated by the immersive virtual reality experience.
