Abstract

Objective: Review studies that report the use of virtual reality and its relationship with pain control in pediatric burnt patients. Methods: It is an integrative literature review. The survey was carried out in October 2020. The searches were conducted in the Virtual Health Library, Phisiotherapy Evidence Database, Cochrane Library, Scientific Electronic Library Online and PubMed databases. For screening the articles indexed in the databases, the descriptors burns, virtual reality, pain and children were used. Results: Seven studies that used virtual reality as a non-pharmacological resource in pain control in pediatric burnt patients were included in the review. The studies were organized in the form of a table to present the main findings, in addition to the objectives and intervention methods of the studies. Final considerations: The use of virtual reality is an indispensable resource in pain control in burnt patients, which needs to be explored, especially in children, a group in which the playful approach is well accepted, resulting in the reduction of pain sensation during the performance of necessary therapeutic activities and procedures.
