Biofeedback Based Virtual Reality Intervention to Manage Postoperative Pain
Feasibility and Acceptability of a Biofeedback Based Virtual Reality Intervention to Manage Postoperative Pain in Children and Adolescents After Surgery
Study Overview

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
This is a 2-phase study aimed to refine a perioperative treatment protocol for a technology-based intervention (Aim 1) and to understand whether technology-based interventions can be used to help treat pain in children following surgery (Aim 2). Patients will participate in only one phase of the study, and when patients are enrolled will determine what Phase of the study they are in.
In Phase 1, all patients will use the same technology, and no randomization will occur. Primary and secondary outcome measures of Aim 1 are assessed in Phase 1. Actual enrollment for Phase 1 was 23 patients.
In Phase 2, patients will be randomized to receive 1 of 2 technology-based interventions. The perioperative treatment protocol developed in Phase 1 (Aim 1) will be used in Phase 2 to assess the primary and secondary outcome measures of Aim 2. This phase is anticipated to enroll up to 70 participants.
This is not an FDA-regulated drug or device trial as the technology used in this study is categorized as a relaxation device by the FDA and considered "minimal risk", thus exempt from both NDE and IDE.
