The management of pain in the emergency department is a major issue, especially for sickle
cell patients who regularly consult for vaso-occlusive seizure (VOS). The place of virtual
reality remains to be defined in a busy environment, in which the permanence of care
generates a significant turn over of medical and paramedical personnel.
With Its immersive nature, allowing the patient to detach from his immediate environment,
wich is often stressful for patients, we can hope that in multimodal management, Virtual
Reality (VR) can contribute to a faster reduction in pain with lower doses of morphine, but
so far we have no data.
Our pilot study aims to assess the effectiveness, feasibility and tolerance of adding virtual
reality to the management of VOS in sickle cell patients in the ER.
