U.S., May 1 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06952192) titled 'Virtual Reality During Skin Prick Test' on April 22.
Brief Summary: Skin prick testing (SPT) is a cornerstone diagnostic procedure for identifying allergic sensitizations in pediatric patients. Despite being minimally invasive, it often provokes considerable anxiety, fear, and pain, potentially compromising test accuracy due to poor compliance. Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a promising non-pharmacological tool for procedural distress management, yet its application in allergy diagnostics remains underexplored.
To evaluate the effectiveness of VR in reducing procedural anxiety, fear, and pain, and in improving compliance in chil...
