Virtual Reality for Pain and Anxiety in Pediatric Dental Treatment
Effects of Immersive Virtual Reality on Pain, Anxiety, and Post-Procedural Experience in Pediatric Dental Treatment: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether immersive virtual reality (VR) reduces pain and anxiety in children aged 6-12 years during routine dental procedures. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does VR distraction reduce self-reported pain and anxiety during dental treatment compared to standard behaviour guidance?
- Does VR distraction improve children's post-procedural experience and willingness to return for future dental visits?
Researchers will compare children using a VR headset during dental treatment to children receiving standard behaviour guidance techniques.
Participants will:
- Attend one routine dental appointment
- Be randomly assigned to wear a VR headset or receive standard care during their procedure
- Complete brief questionnaires about pain and anxiety before and after treatment
- Receive a follow-up phone call 24-72 hours after the appointment

실험적: VR Distraction
Children wear an immersive VR headset during routine dental treatment as a non-pharmacological distraction intervention.
The VR headset provides an engaging visual and auditory environment to reduce pain and anxiety during the procedure.
|
A commercially available immersive VR headset used as a non-pharmacological distraction tool during routine pediatric dental procedures.
Children wear the headset throughout their treatment to engage with an interactive virtual environment designed to reduce pain and anxiety.

|
활성 비교기: Standard Behaviour Guidance
Children receive standard behaviour guidance techniques commonly used in pediatric dentistry, such as tell-show-do and positive reinforcement, without VR distraction.
|
Standard behaviour guidance techniques routinely used in pediatric dentistry, including tell-show-do, positive reinforcement, and distraction through verbal communication and a TV screen.
No virtual reality headset is used.

Self-Reported Pain During Dental Procedure Using Faces Pain Scale
기간: Baseline Pre-procedural and Immediately following the dental procedure (same day)
|
Child self-reported pain assessed using the Faces Pain Scale (0-10 where 10 is the maximum pain felt): The child is asked to point to the Faces picture that reflect the pain level that they are feeling.
0= Relaxed and comfortable; 2-4= Mild discomfort; 6-8= Moderate pain; 10= Severe pain or discomfort Baseline pre-procedural and immediately following the dental procedure.

Physiological Stress Response (Salivary alpha-Amylase) salivary alpha-amylase level (U/L) baseline before any dental treatment and immediately following the dental procedure
기간: Salivary alpha-amylase level (U/L), measured at baseline (immediately prior to the start of the dental procedure) and again immediately following the dental procedure. Both samples are collected on the same day, during the single dental appointment.
|
Using a swab to collect for a full 60-90 seconds by resting the swab inside the mouth, or collect in intervals by re-introducing the swab into the mouth as needed, until the lower third of the swab is saturated (some participants may require longer than 90 seconds of total collection time).
Salivary alpha-amylase level (U/L), measured at baseline (immediately prior to the start of the dental procedure) and again immediately following the dental procedure.
Both samples are collected on the same day, during the single dental appointment.
