Description
Demirci and co-authors review, in twenty twenty-four, whether virtual reality therapy cuts pain and anxiety during wound care in adults. Wound care can hurt, as dressings stress tissue and stir nerves, and stress adds to the pain. Poor pain control can lead to skipped care and slow healing. Chronic wounds are a large health burden, with United States costs above twenty billion dollars a year. Past fixes include local numbing drugs, oral pain drugs, and calmer, gentler dressings.
Virtual reality offers a fresh route: it draws the mind away from the wound while care proceeds. The review gathers trials that test headsets during dressing changes. It weighs pain and anxiety scores against usual care.
