In recent years, virtual reality has been widely used as a distraction practice in clinical medical care to relieve pain. Virtual reality is a method of viewing computer images to isolate the individual from real life for a while. Virtual reality glasses, consisting of a head-mounted display and glasses connected to a mobile phone, is a computer technology that creates a 3D environment. The virtual reality application, which was originally designed for entertainment purposes, started to be used in the medical field to reduce pain during invasive procedures in parallel with the developments in computer technologies. It is preferred in clinical practice as an easily accessible, non-invasive and inexpensive method.
