Summary

Immersive virtual reality (iVR) has been used successfully to manage pain with distraction. It is a non-invasive treatment modality unassociated with worrisome well-known side effects typically seen when opioids and NSAIDS are used, and has previously been used safely in place of analgesia during dressing changes and burn care. This study investigates whether iVR can be useful as a stand-alone option to manage the pain associated with placement of peripheral intravenous (PIV) catheters in adults.
