This study aims to test the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) in reducing pain and anxiety in children undergoing voiding cystourethrograms (VCUG) at Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA). A voiding cystourethrogram is a genitourinary diagnostic scan that provides important urological information, specifically the filling and releasing of the bladder. This information can help diagnose urological issues in children. However, this procedure requires catheterization, which is understood to be a painful and anxiety-provoking procedure. This study will test the effectiveness of VR as a non-pharmaceutical intervention to relieve pain and anxiety in pediatric patients undergoing VCUGs.
