Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to examine the effectiveness of immersive virtual reality (IVR) and music on children's anxiety, fear, and pain levels during circumcision surgery.

The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

1. Are immersive virtual reality and music interventions effective in reducing children's anxiety and fear levels during circumcision surgery?
2. Are immersive virtual reality and music interventions effective in reducing children's pain levels during circumcision surgery? There were three groups in the study: control group (n:24), immersive virtual reality group (n:24), and music group (n:24). The control group did not undergo any intervention and only the routine procedure of the clinic was performed. The participants in the immersive virtual reality group played an interactive video game. The participants in the music group listened to music of their preference.

Immersive virtual reality group

The children in the IVR group were offered two video games from the Oculus Quest gallery. These games were Ocean Rift and Epic Roller Coaster-T-Rex Kingdom. Ocean Rift is the world's first VR water safari park. It has 12 different marine animals such as dolphins, sharks, and turtles and a habitat. Here one can visit a vibrant underwater world that extends all the way to the Arctic and Atlantis. Epic Roller Coaster-T-Rex Kingdom takes one on a roller coaster ride through the Age of Dinosaurs. There are more than 10 species of dinosaurs such as terrestrial, flying, herbivorous and carnivorous.
