Distraction With Virtual Reality From Pain and Anxiety for Patients With Hematological Malignancies

The goal of this clinical trial\] is to study the effectiveness of Virtual Reality (VR) in reducing pain and anxiety during painful procedures for patients with hematological malignancies The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: Does VR effectively reduce pain during painful procedures for patients with hematological malignancies ? Does VR effectively reduce anxiety during painful procedures for patients with hematological malignancies ? Interventional group (intra-group comparaison): This design allows each patient to act as his own control.: The intervention consists of a complete sequence involving three phases: Period 1 (standard care), a washout period of at least seven days, and Period 2 (VR session). External control group (inter-group comparaison): Patients will be assigned to the intervention group first, and then a matching external control patient will be selected based on age and type of procedure.

This study is a prospective interventional crossover trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of Virtual Reality during painful procedures, including Bone Marrow Biopsy, Bone Marrow Aspiration, Lumbar Puncture, Venipuncture, and chemotherapy. Previous studies have suggested that virtual reality (VR) can distract patients from painful stimuli, enhance the quality of healthcare, and improve overall patient well-being.
