The study examined the use of virtual reality as a method to reduce pain and anxiety in children during intravenous catheter insertion. Virtual reality represents a non-invasive approach that can distract patients from painful procedures. This technology is increasingly used in medicine to improve patient comfort during unpleasant procedures. The study focused on evaluating the effectiveness of this method in the pediatric population. The results may contribute to the development of better strategies for managing procedural pain in children. Virtual reality represents a potential tool for improving patient experience during medical procedures.
