Overview
Brief Summary
Aim: This study aimed to examine the effects of virtual reality and music on pain, anxiety, itching, and vital signs of children during a skin prick test and evaluation.
Background:Virtual reality and music are utilised to reduce pain, anxiety, and itching in children throughout various treatment processes.
Methods: This randomised controlled trial was divided into three groups: Virtual reality (n=30), music (n=30), and control (n=30). Anxiety was assessed before and after the skin prick test using the "State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children"; pain was assessed during and after the skin prick test using the "Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale"; vital signs were measured before, during, and after the skin prick test, and the itch assessment "Visual Analogue Score" was assessed at 5, 10, and fifteen minutes after the skin prick test. The study followed the CONCORT guideline.
