The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect on pain and both Virtual Reality and Music Therapy as add-on therapy during wound car in adults.
After inclusion and completion of the informed consent form, patients are randomly allocated to the intervention group or control group in a 1:1:1 ratio. Randomization will not be blinded since both the provider and patient know if the patient will be wearing the VR system or headphone with audio during wound care or not wearing the VR system or headphone with audio.
Patients are randomly assigned to one of three groups:
Group 1 - Intervention group 1, Virtual Reality Therapy Group 2 - Intervention group 2, Music Therapy Group 3 - Control group, care as usual

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Virtual Reality Therapy (Intervention group 1) | Experimental | In addition to the standard wound care procedure, the Virtual Reality Therapy group (intervention group 1) will receive the VR system during the wound care. The VR system consists of Virtual Reality glasses, a controller and a headphone. The application SyncVR Relax & Distract will be used, which will contain various videos for the patient those from to relax and be distracted. This group wears the VR system 10 minutes before the start of the wound care, until 1 minute after the wound care has ended. |
|
| Music Therapy (Intervention group 2) | Experimental | In addition to the standard wound care procedure, the Music Therapy group (intervention group 2) will be hearing their preferred audio, chosen by patient to be relaxing and to offer distraction, through headphones during wound care. This group wears the headphone with music 10 minutes before the start of the wound care, until 1 minute after the wound care has ended. |
|
| Care as usual (control group/group 3) | No Intervention | The care as usual group (control group) will receive the care as usual. This group receives neither VRT nor MT during wound care. |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Virtual Reality system | Device | The intervention group 1 will be wearing the 'SyncVR' Virtual Reality system during the wound care moment in addition to the standard procedure. The VR system consists of Virtual Reality glasses, a controller, and a headphone. The SyncVR Relax & Distract Application (SyncVR R&D) will be used. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The primary outcome is the change in pain score before and after the first wound care, measured with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). | The VAS is a horizontal scale from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating ''no pain'' and 10 indicating ''worst pain possible''. | Baseline, during the procedure, immediately after procedure |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Mean VAS change of all wound care procedures included in the study | The VAS is a horizontal scale from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating ''no pain'' and 10 indicating ''worst pain possible''. | Baseline, during the procedure, immediately after procedure |
| Change from baseline in level of anxiety at 10 minutes after procedure |

Level of anxiety, as measured by a Dutch translated and validated modification of the Spielberger State-Trait Inventory-6 (STAI-6) questionnaire 10 minutes before and 10 minutes after each three wound care moments. |
| Baseline, 10 minutes after procedure |
| Patient satisfaction | Patient satisfaction, as measured by a self-developed Dutch provider satisfaction questionnaire, focuses on satisfaction about the intervention with the VR system or headphone with audio. The questionnaires included a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The VAS is a horizontal scale from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating ''the worst score'' and 10 indicating ''the best score'', or with 0 indicating '''the best score'' and 10 indicating ''the worst score''. | Through study completion, an average of 1 week |

| Change from baseline systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure at 5 minutes after procedure | The systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure 5 minutes before the intervention (intervention group)/wound care (control group) and 5 minutes after the intervention (intervention group)/wound care (control group) | Baseline, 5 minutes after procedure |
| Change of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure during procedure | The systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure every 5 minutes during procedure | During procedure |
| Change from baseline blood oxygen level at 5 minutes after procedure | The blood oxygen level, measured using a pulse oximetry device, 5 minutes before intervention (intervention group)/wound care (control group), and 5 minutes after the intervention (intervention group)/wound care (control group) | Baseline, 5 minutes after procedure |
| Change of blood oxygen level during procedure | The blood oxygen level every 5 minutes during procedure, measured using a pulse oximetry device | During procedure |
