Abstract
Background and purpose: Reducing sensory and environmental stimuli such as visual and auditory stimuli is one of the non-pharmacological methods to relieve pain. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of eye shields and earmuffs on pain caused by orogastric tube insertion in infants.
Materials and methods: A clinical trial was carried out in teaching hospitals affiliated with Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2018. Seventy six infants were selected by convenience sampling and were randomly placed in an intervention group or a control group. Earmuffs were used since four hours before orogastric tube insertion and eye shields were used two hours before the procedure. A camera recorded facial expressions and the heart rate and oxygen saturation were also recorded for 15 seconds in resting position, before the procedure, during, and 30 seconds after orogastric tube insertion. Pain intensity during the procedure was assessed in both groups using Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP). Data were analyzed using t-test, Mann Whitney, Wilcoxon, Friedman test, and Chi-square test.
Results: The study showed significant differences in mean score for pain during and after orogastric tube insertion between intervention group (4.29 ± 2.67and 1.16 ± 0.26) and control group (9.11 ± 1.80 and 4.24 ± 2.55), respectively (P=0.001).
Conclusion: According to this study, eye shields and earmuffs could be used before orogastric tube insertion in order to relieve pain.

Abstract
Background and purpose: Familiarity with procedures method makes the patient cooperate. Besides, using virtual reality headsets decreases pain through involving patients in a multidimensional space. Stitching causes the child to not cooperate due to the pain occurring during the procedure. Therefore, this study combined these two methods to investigate the effect of familiarization with stitching through virtual reality headset on children's pain intensity and parents' satisfaction during stitching.
Materials and methods: The present study was a clinical trial. The statistical population consisted of 60 children aged 5-7 years with a cut in the limb or head. These children were selected by the convenience method and randomly allocated into two groups. Pain related to laceration was measured using Visual Analog Scale in both groups before the intervention. In the intervention group, virtual headset was used 1 to 3 minutes before stitching (playing 1 minute and 30 seconds animation containing how to stitch and getting familiar with the hospital environment). After the procedure, the child's pain intensity was measured again. Parents were asked to complete a parents' satisfaction questionnaire on pain management after stitching. Finally, the data were analyzed using SPSS V16.
Results: The demographic data did not show any significant differences. The results showed a statistically significant difference between the pain intensity of children in the control (8.6±1.67) and intervention (3.97±3.21) groups (P=0.001). Parents' satisfaction (control 48.03±11.76 and intervention 68.83±8.67) with pain management also showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P=0.001).
Conclusion: It seems that using virtual reality for the purpose of familiarization reduces the intensity of pain in children during stitching and increases parents' satisfaction. Therefore, it is recommended to use this method as a non-drug, safe, non-invasive, and cheap method.
