DOREVI: Use of Virtual Reality in Pain Management in Pediatric Oncology
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
DOREVI is a monocentric randomized controlled study that will evaluate the efficacy of virtual reality helmets for pain prevention during invasive care on 78 oncologic pediatric patients. Two groups of children (between 6 and 11 and between 12 and 18 years old) will be randomized to use helmet plus standard care or standard care alone during invasive procedures (central venous catheter puncture, lumbar puncture, or bone marrow aspiration). The pain intensity will be evaluated using a visual analogic scale during three invasive procedures, and results will be compared between the patients with or without virtual reality.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention Patients randomized in this arm will have the virtual reality headset associated to the standard care |
Other: Virtual reality headset
Each patient in this treatment group will use a virtual reality headset during 3 procedures. During each procedure, the pain level will be assessed and compared with the assessed group.

No Intervention: Standard care patients randomized in this arm will have standard care. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Self pain evaluation [before blood sampling on catheter with implantable chamber]
Pain will be assessed by the analogic visual scale (minimal score = 0 (no pain) , maximal score = 10 (maximal pain))
