Impact of Virtual Reality in Hematology and Oncology During Invasive Procedures in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults, from 7 to Less Than 25 Years Old
Sponsor: Poitiers University Hospital
Summary
This pilot study will be testing the feasibility of medical hypnosis through virtual reality during invasive médical procédures in children and young adults with cancer. Patients age from 7 to under 25 years whose treatement protocols required a lumbure puncture and a chemotherapy by implantable venous access will be randomly assigned to virtual reality or treatement as usual (nitrous oxide, anxiolytics, opioid analgesics, psychotropic and benzodiazepine). We expect the same benefit by using VR as usual intervention.

In each arm, patients will benefit from an EMLA-type local anesthetic cream, pain and anxiety assessment. During the act, the physiological constants will be recorded (Fr, O2 and pulse). In the the RV group, The session will be started before the gesture and the patient will wear the helmet throughout the act. In case of pain and / or restlessness, the child will receive analgesics.
