No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the reduction of pain and anxiety during a minor procedure in the emergency department on adult patients through the visualisation of atmospheric projection as a distraction mean. The main question it aims to answer is :

Can the atmospheric projection of a video reduce pain and anxiety in adult patients receiving painful procedures in the emergency department ?

Participants will look at an atmospheric projection (projection of a media on the walls and roof around the patient) while receiving their planned care procedures. Researchers will compare an active group watching a video with a control group watching a simple colored light to see if the visualisation of an atmospheric projected video reduces pain and anxiety more than the visualisation of a colored light does.
