This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new approach that combines virtual reality with a relaxation technique called progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) to help burn survivors manage ongoing symptoms like pain, itching, sleep problems, and anxiety. The study compares this new treatment to the standard relaxation technique alone, to see if adding virtual reality makes it more effective and easier to use at home.
Many burn survivors struggle with chronic pain, itching, sleep problems, and anxiety long after their injury heals. While medications like opioids can help short-term, they often come with side effects and risks of dependence. This trial exists to test whether this non-medication approach could offer a safer, easier way for survivors to manage these stubborn symptoms on their own.

You likely don't qualify if…
You would be randomly assigned to either use the virtual reality relaxation program or a standard relaxation program on your own at home. You would participate in online visits with the research team and complete surveys about your symptoms over the study period. The study involves 34 total participants, and you would use the treatment as part of your daily routine to help manage pain, itching, sleep, and anxiety related to your burn injury.
