Description

Burn injuries are devastating and cause long-term damage to health. Thermal injuries, caused by hot liquids, solids, or fire, account for the majority of these injuries. Around 11 million burn cases occur annually worldwide. Rehabilitation aims to improve joint range od motion and control pain. Nonpharmocologic strategies like hypnosis and VR systems have shown promise in pain control. Multidisciplinary interventions from psychologists, physiotherapists, and pain management specialists can contribute to patient recovery. VR offers a holistic care device for pediatric burn patients.
