Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Using virtual reality as a form of distraction for pain during wound care. Virtual reality involves looking into a set of goggles and then moving through a computer-simulated world.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study has three different groups. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of three groups (two treatments and one control). Treatment for Group 1 is Virtual Reality Distraction during wound care. Group 2 will listen to an audio recording called "Sounds of Nature". Group 3 will be the control group.

Subjects in all three groups will receive the following questionnaires:

Graphic Rating Scale McGill Short-Form pain questionnaire Sullivan Catastrophization scale (only on Day 1/Baseline) The Nurse GRS
