Summary

Randomized controlled trial reporting the pain levels and pain control/reduction of children at the age of 6-15 undergoing surgical procedures by using virtual reality gaming (VR) compared to nitrous oxide. Therefore, 50 patients in each treatment group are recruited, resulting in 100 children altogether. The pain levels and pain control/reduction is measured by the standard anesthesia protocol normally used when nitrous oxide is applied and questionnaires that are administered to the patients at baseline and two weeks after surgery including both the primary and secondary outcome.
