Brief summary
Aim: This study aimed to examine the effects of virtual reality and music on pain, anxiety, itching, and vital signs of children during a skin prick test and evaluation. Background:Virtual reality and music are utilised to reduce pain, anxiety, and itching in children throughout various treatment processes. Methods: This randomised controlled trial was divided into three groups: Virtual reality (n=30), music (n=30), and control (n=30). Anxiety was assessed before and after the skin prick test using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children; pain was assessed during and after the skin prick test using the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale; vital signs were measured before, during, and after the skin prick test, and the itch assessment Visual Analogue Score was assessed at 5, 10, and fifteen minutes after the skin prick test. The study followed the CONCORT guideline.

Interventions
OTHERThe VR glasses group
The Virtual Reality glasses group watched a cartoon video of "Rafadan Tayfa Gizli Hazine The VR glasses group watched a cartoon video of "Rafadan Tayfa Gizli Hazine After the SPT, the VR glasses group took a 1-minute break from watching videos and the child's pain was assessed with WBFPS. During the 15-minute SPT assessment, the VR glasses group continued watching cartoon
OTHERthe music group
The music group listened to classical piano "The Best of Chopin." After the music group took a 1-minute break from listening to music, and the child's pain was assessed with WBFPS.
