This study examines the efficacy of virtual reality (VR) as a tool for pain management in clinical settings. By providing immersive experiences, VR can serve as a distraction technique, reducing patient pain perception and reliance on pharmaceuticals.

Findings suggest that VR represents a promising non-pharmacological intervention for pain relief with significant clinical benefits.
