In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Virtual Reality Game for Behavior, Child and Anxiety. Completed, enrolled 201 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if a virtual reality (VR) distraction game played prior to procedural sedation for long bone fracture reduction will improve post-discharge negative behavior changes following discharge from the pediatric Emergency Department (ED).

Timeline
Interventions
The virtual reality headset, device, and software, created by Stanford's Childhood Anxiety Reduction through Innovation and Technology (CHARIOT)program/Weightless Studio, LLC will be utilized in this study. Children in the VR intervention group will be allowed to select a distraction-based game to play with active VR content featuring interactive avatars and interactive experiences tailored to the pediatric population that allow players to do things such as control penguins sliding down a mountain while collecting pebbles for points, control puppies running in space to collect treats to the rhythm of music, and control an asteroid miner exploring an asteroid belt and collecting points based on color of asteroids collected. The game will last a minimum of 5 minutes in duration, provided participant tolerance. The participant may play longer if desired prior to receiving procedural sedation and the total length of activity played will be documented.
