Summary

Background: Increasing opioid misuse is a worldwide problem. About 10% of opioid misusers are primarily exposed to opioids at the Emergency Department (ED). This study was conducted to determine the feasibility for a clinical trial investigating the effect of Virtual Reality therapy on opioid consumption at the ED.

Methods: Adult patients were included when primarily seen by the Emergency Physician and presenting with a NRS pain score ≥4. Main objective was to identify the target population and evaluate outcome measures to sustain a trial incorporating the Oral Morphine Equivalent (OME) at the ED as the primary endpoint. Primary outcome was mean OME administered at the ED. Secondary outcomes included NRS pain scores, main symptoms and type of analgesics administered at the ED.
