简要总结
Studying the effect of using virtual reality technique in managing pain, anxiety, and vital signs among pediatric dental patients.
详细描述
Local anaesthesia is essential for pain control during pediatric dental procedures, yet its administration can cause significant anxiety and distress in children.
Recent innovations aim to improve the delivery of anesthesia to make it less painful and more acceptable. This randomized clinical trial studied the effect of using virtual reality technique in managing pain, anxiety, and vital signs among pediatric dental patients. A total of 64 healthy children aged 6 to 10 years participated in the study. The children were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Pain perception was measured using Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale. Anxiety was evaluated using Venham Picture Test. Vital signs, including pulse rate, oxygen saturation and blood pressure were monitored at baseline and during treatment. Satisfaction levels were assessed for the pediatric patients using child-friendly satisfaction questionnaires

结局指标
主要结局
Pain level during dental anesthesia and treatment
时间窗: From the start of local anesthetic injection until completion of extraction, assessed up to 30 minutes.
Procedural pain was assessed using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale to measure children's self-reported pain, It's a self-reported scale with six cartoon faces representing increasing levels of pain, scored from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). Children were asked to point to the face that best described their pain. Higher scores on either scale indicated greater pain intensity.
Anxiety level during anesthesia and treatment
时间窗: From the start of local anesthetic injection until completion of extraction, assessed up to 30 minutes.
Anxiety was assessed using the Venham Picture Test (VPT), a self-reported measure of dental anxiety in children. The scale consists of 8 pairs of drawings, with the child selecting the picture that best reflects their feelings at each pair. Scores range from 0 to 8, where 0 indicates no anxiety and 8 indicates the highest level of anxiety. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety.
次要结局
- Pulse rate(From baseline measurement taken 5 minutes before local anesthetic injection, through the injection, and until completion of extraction, assessed up to 35 minutes.])
- Oxygen saturation(From baseline measurement taken 5 minutes before local anesthetic injection, through the injection, and until completion of extraction, assessed up to 35 minutes.)
- Blood pressure(From baseline measurement taken 5 minutes before local anesthetic injection, through the injection, and until completion of extraction, assessed up to 35 minutes.)
- Patient's satisfaction(Immediately after the procedure)
