Overview
Brief Summary
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect on pain and both Virtual Reality and Music Therapy as add-on therapy during wound car in adults.
Detailed Description
After inclusion and completion of the informed consent form, patients are randomly allocated to the intervention group or control group in a 1:1:1 ratio. Randomization will not be blinded since both the provider and patient know if the patient will be wearing the VR system or headphone with audio during wound care or not wearing the VR system or headphone with audio. Patients are randomly assigned to one of three groups: Group 1 - Intervention group 1, Virtual Reality Therapy Group 2 - Intervention group 2, Music Therapy Group 3 - Control group, care as usual

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The primary outcome is the change in pain score before and after the first wound care, measured with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
Time Frame: Baseline, during the procedure, immediately after procedure
The VAS is a horizontal scale from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating ''no pain'' and 10 indicating ''worst pain possible''.
Secondary Outcomes
- Mean VAS change of all wound care procedures included in the study(Baseline, during the procedure, immediately after procedure)
- Change from baseline in level of anxiety at 10 minutes after procedure(Baseline, 10 minutes after procedure)
- Patient satisfaction(Through study completion, an average of 1 week)
- Provider satisfaction(Through study completion, an average of 1 year)
- Change from baseline systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure at 5 minutes after procedure(Baseline, 5 minutes after procedure)
- Change from baseline blood oxygen level at 5 minutes after procedure(Baseline, 5 minutes after procedure)
- Change of pulse rate during procedure(During procedure)
- Change of respiratory rate during procedure(During procedure)
- Change of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure during procedure(During procedure)
- Change of blood oxygen level during procedure(During procedure)
- Change from baseline pulse rate at 5 minutes after procedure(Baseline, 5 minutes after procedure)
- Change from baseline respiratory rate at 5 minutes after procedure(Baseline, 5 minutes after procedure)
