The purpose of this study is to determine if non-invasive distracting devices (Virtual Reality headset, Augmented Reality Headset) are more effective than the standard of care (i.e., no technology-based distraction) for decreasing anxiety and pain scores in pediatric patients undergoing various minor procedures (i.e lumbar punctures and cardiac catheterization). The anticipated primary outcome will be a reduction of overall cumulative medication and secondary outcomes include but are not limited to: physician satisfaction, discharge time, pain scores, anxiety scores, and procedure time.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard of Care group | Active Comparator | No immersive technology will be assigned to the participant. Participant will use their own distraction method. |
|
| Immersive Technology grorup | Experimental | Immersive technologies including VR headsets, a bluetooth haptic device (Buddy Guard), a screen and projector (BERT), and a tablets with a game will be randomly assigned to the participants. Each participant will receive one technological intervention. |

| Evaluate the effectiveness of technological interventions on anxiety levels in patients who undergo minor procedures | Participants will complete the Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety (VAS-A), a self-report scale to measure anxiety levels before and after the technological intervention. The scale is a horizontal line from 0 to 10 with an anchor at 0 indicating "no anxiety" and an anchor at 10 indicating "worst possible anxiety". | baseline, immediately after the intervention |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluate the effectiveness of technological interventions on pain levels in patients whose age is 4-11 years old and undergo minor procedures | The FSP-R is a self-report measure of pain intensity displaying six faces representing equal intervals between the scale values from least pain = 0 to most pain = 10 | baseline, immediately after the intervention |

| Immersive technology | Behavioral | Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following four groups; VR headsets, a bluetooth haptic device (Buddy Guard), a screen and projector (BERT), and a tablets with a game. Participant's anxiety will be assessed and pre- and post-intervention assessments will be completed. |
|
| To evaluate pain levels pre- and post-intervention, participants will complete the Numerical Rating Pain Scale (NRPS) for patients 12-17 years old. | The NRPS quantifies pain intensity on a scale from 0, being no pain, to 10, being the worst imaginable pain. | baseline, immediately after the intervention |
| To evaluate patient's, clinician's, and caregiver's satisfaction levels | To analyze the patient's, clinician's, and caregiver's satisfaction levels, the feedback in the satisfaction survey at the end will be evaluated. The purpose of this analysis is to provide qualitative data on which aspects of the technological intervention the patient received mattered the most to the patient, clinician, and caregiver. | immediately after the intervention |
| To evaluate the patient's affect during the intervention using HRAD | HRAD contains 5-item scale assessing participant's affective state; happy, relaxed, anxious, distressed, with a yes/no answer to cooperation. | during minor procedure |
| To evaluate the patient's cooperation during the intervention using the modified Induction Compliance Checklist (mICC) | The mICC score will be recorded by the trained research observers during the minor procedure.11 behaviors that are commonly observed preoperatively will be recorded. Perfect compliance (score of 0) was compared to those that lacked cooperation. mICC will be rated at the time of intervention and only requires one RA. | during minor procedure |
