Study Arms (2)

Control

NO INTERVENTION

The children will receive the standard pharmacological treatment of the unit to manage pain and stabilize their physiological parameters throughout the three days of study.

Study group

EXPERIMENTAL

The children will receive virtual reality intervention which will take place using a cell phone coupled with the three-dimensional image glasses. The cell phone will play three-dimensional games which will be downloaded for free. The options for images and games involved which children could choose freely, all games will be suitable for the age group of the study.

Behavioral: Virtual reality

Interventions

Virtual realityBEHAVIORAL

artificial construction of 3D environment via mobile technology. It included a head-mounted device (HMD) with 3D-enabled goggles, sensory input devices and headphones, which together allow a multisensory experience to divert a child's attention.
