This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether virtual reality headsets can help reduce anxiety, fear, and stress in children with cancer who are undergoing a type of chemotherapy called intrathecal chemotherapy. The headsets show animations or games that fully immerse the child in a different world during the procedure. Researchers will measure how much the child's anxiety, heart rate, blood pressure, and other vital signs improve before and after using the headset.
Intrathecal chemotherapy can cause significant pain, stress, anxiety, and fear in children. While distraction methods like watching cartoons or playing games can help, the virtual reality headsets offer a unique advantage because they combine sight, sound, and sensation to fully capture a child's attention in a way other methods cannot.

Your child will visit the clinic before their intrathecal chemotherapy procedure. A researcher will ask questions about your child's background and measure their anxiety level and vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, oxygen level). Then your child will wear virtual reality glasses and watch a 15-minute animated film. After the video ends, the researcher will measure your child's vital signs and anxiety level again to see if the virtual reality experience helped reduce their stress and fear.
