Little NIRVANA for Pediatric Pain and Anxiety
Augmented Reality for Managing Pediatric Anxiety and Pain During Disasters - A Randomized Pilot Feasibility Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 Aug 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The aim of this study is to test the feasibility of using Little NIRVANA (augmented reality (AR)) for managing anxiety and pain for children 2-8 years old during hospital emergency peripheral intravenous (PIV) insertions. The investigators hypothesize that Little NIRVANA plus a numbing cream will reduce pain and anxiety for patients undergoing PIV placement in the emergency department (ED) when compared to the cream alone. It is anticipated that using the Little NIRVANA will not increase the ED length of stay, failed PIV placement attempts, or the need for additional intervention.
