VR High Tech Pain Control Burn Wound Care

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Using virtual reality as a form of distraction for pain during wound care. Virtual reality involves looking into a set of goggles and then moving through a computer-simulated world.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This study has three different groups. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of three groups (two treatments and one control). Treatment for Group 1 is Virtual Reality Distraction during wound care. Group 2 will listen to an audio recording called Sounds of Nature. Group 3 will be the control group. Subjects in all three groups will receive the following questionnaires: Graphic Rating Scale McGill Short-Form pain questionnaire Sullivan Catastrophization scale (only on Day 1/Baseline) The Nurse GRS
