Evaluation of Virtual Reality Based Distraction on Anxiety and Pain Perception in Paediatric Dental Extraction (VR-PED)
"Evaluation of Virtual Reality Based Distraction on Anxiety and Pain Perception in Paediatric Dental Extraction: A Randomized Controlled Trial"
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if virtual reality distraction can reduce dental anxiety and pain perception in children aged 6-10 years undergoing simple dental extraction. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does virtual reality distraction lower dental anxiety compared to audio-visual distraction and conventional tell-show-do techniques?
Does virtual reality distraction reduce pain perception during dental extraction?
Researchers will compare virtual reality distraction, audio-visual distraction (2D cartoons with headset), and conventional tell-show-do with verbal distraction to see which method is most effective in improving child cooperation and reducing anxiety and pain.
Participants will:
Wear VR glasses to watch immersive 3D cartoons, or
Watch 2D cartoons with headset, or
Receive the conventional tell-show-do technique with verbal distraction.
Outcome measures will include child dental anxiety (CFSS-DS, VCARS), pain perception (Wong-Baker FACES), physiological parameters (pulse rate, SpO₂), and behavioral cooperation (Frankl scale).

实验性的:Arm 1: Virtual Reality Distraction
Children wear VR glasses to watch immersive 3D cartoons during dental extraction.
Anxiety, pain, and cooperation are assessed using CFSS-DS, Wong-Baker FACES, VCARS, Frankl scale, and physiological parameters
|
Children wear a virtual reality headset to watch immersive 3D cartoons during dental extraction.
This device provides distraction to reduce dental anxiety and pain perception.
|
|
有源比较器:Arm 2: Audio-Visual Distraction
Children watch 2D cartoons with headset during dental extraction.
Anxiety, pain, and cooperation are measured using the same scales and physiological parameters as the VR group.
|
Children watch 2D cartoons with headset during dental extraction.
This behavioral technique provides distraction to reduce dental anxiety and pain perception.
|
|
有源比较器:Arm 3: Conventional Tell-Show-Do
Children receive the standard tell-show-do technique with verbal distraction during dental extraction.
Anxiety, pain, and cooperation are assessed using CFSS-DS, Wong-Baker FACES, VCARS, Frankl scale, and physiological parameters.

大体时间 |

Child Dental Anxiety (Self-Report)
大体时间:Time Points: Baseline (before starting the procedure) and post-operative assessments ( after finishing the extraction)
|
Change in child dental anxiety will be measured using the Children's Fear Survey Schedule - Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS, Arabic version).
The CFSS-DS consists of 15 items, each scored from 1 (not afraid) to 5 (very afraid), yielding a total score range of 15 to 75.
Higher scores indicate greater dental anxiety (worse outcome).
The unit of measure is the CFSS-DS score.
|
Time Points: Baseline (before starting the procedure) and post-operative assessments ( after finishing the extraction)
|
|
Child Dental Anxiety (Observation-based Assessment)
大体时间:Time points: This scale will be measured at 4 time points during the procedure: T0(baseline)= 15 min before starting the procedure T1= Time of needle penetration T2= Time of extracting the tooth T3= 5 mins after the extraction
|
Change in child dental anxiety will also be assessed using Venham's Clinical Anxiety Rating Scale (VCARS).
This observational scale is scored from 0 (relaxed) to 5 (out of control), with a total score range of 0 to 5. Higher scores indicate greater observed anxiety (worse outcome).
|
Time points: This scale will be measured at 4 time points during the procedure: T0(baseline)= 15 min before starting the procedure T1= Time of needle penetration T2= Time of extracting the tooth T3= 5 mins after the extraction
|
|
3a: Physiological Monitoring - Pulse Rate
大体时间:Will be measured at 4 time points: T0 ( Baseline)= 15 minutes before the procedure T1= Time of needle penetration T2= Time of extracting the tooth T3= 5 minutes after extraction
|
Pulse rate will be monitored using a pulse oximeter. The unit of measure is beats per minute (bpm). In children, the normal resting pulse rate varies by age: Preschool children (3-5 years): ~80-120 bpm School-aged children (6-12 years): ~70-118 bpm Adolescents (13-18 years): ~60-100 bpm Higher values during the dental procedure indicate greater physiological arousal (worse outcome). |
Will be measured at 4 time points: T0 ( Baseline)= 15 minutes before the procedure T1= Time of needle penetration T2= Time of extracting the tooth T3= 5 minutes after extraction
|
|
3b: Physiological Monitoring - Oxygen Saturation (SpO₂)
大体时间:Will be measured at 4 time points: T0 ( Baseline)= 15 minutes before the procedure T1= Time of needle penetration T2= Time of extracting the tooth T3= 5 minutes after extraction
|
Oxygen saturation will be monitored using a pulse oximeter.
The unit of measure is percentage (%).
In healthy children, normal SpO₂ values are typically 95-100% at rest.
Lower values indicate poorer physiological status (i.e., worse outcomes).
|
Will be measured at 4 time points: T0 ( Baseline)= 15 minutes before the procedure T1= Time of needle penetration T2= Time of extracting the tooth T3= 5 minutes after extraction

Pain Perception (Self-Report)
大体时间:at the end of the procedure
|
Self-reported pain perception will be measured using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale (Arabic version).
This scale ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain), represented by facial expressions.
Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity (worse outcome), and lower scores indicate less pain intensity (better outcome)
|
at the end of the procedure

|
Child Behavior (Observation)
大体时间:Time Points: Baseline (before the dental extraction procedure) and follow-up assessment at 1 month post-procedure
|
Child behavior will be assessed using the Frankl Behavior Rating Scale. This scale has four degrees:
The total score range is 1 to 4. Higher scores indicate more cooperative behavior (better outcome). |
Time Points: Baseline (before the dental extraction procedure) and follow-up assessment at 1 month post-procedure
