虚拟现实技术用于儿童静脉穿刺疼痛干预效果的Meta分析

The Intervention Effect of Virtual Reality Technology on Pain during Pediatric Venipuncture: A Meta-Analysis

摘要: 目的：探讨虚拟现实技术对儿童静脉穿刺疼痛的干预效果。方法：计算机检索PubMed等7个中英文数据库，检索建库至2026年7月发表的有关虚拟现实技术干预儿童静脉穿刺疼痛的随机对照试验，进行文献筛选、数据提取及质量评价，采用RevMan 5.4和Stata 19进行Meta分析。结果：共纳入11项随机对照试验，包括1169例儿童。Meta分析结果显示，虚拟现实技术干预可以有效降低儿童静脉穿刺疼痛，差异具有统计学意义(SMD = −1.19, 95%CI: −1.87~−0.51, P < 0.001)。结论：现有证据表明，VR技术能够有效缓解儿童静脉穿刺疼痛，可作为儿童静脉穿刺疼痛管理的辅助干预措施。

Abstract: Objective: To explore the intervention effect of virtual reality technology on pain during pediatric venipuncture. Methods: Seven Chinese and English databases, including PubMed, were searched to retrieve randomized controlled trials published up to July 2026 regarding virtual reality technology interventions for pediatric venipuncture pain. The literature was screened, data were extracted, and quality assessments were performed. Meta-analysis was performed with RevMan 5.4 and Stata 19. Results: 11 randomized controlled trials involving 1169 pediatric participants were included. The meta-analysis results demonstrated that virtual reality intervention could reduce venipuncture pain in children, with a statistically significant difference (SMD = −1.19; 95%CI: −1.87 to −0.51; P < 0.001). Conclusions: Available evidence demonstrates that VR technology can effectively alleviate pain associated with venipuncture in children and may serve as an adjunctive intervention for pain management during venipuncture in pediatric patients.
