Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if non-invasive distracting devices (Virtual Reality headset) are more effective than the standard of care of utilizing existing technologies that are currently more common in food allergy research treatment and clinics (i.e. television and patients' personal electronic devices) for decreasing levels anxiety and fear in pediatric patients undergoing oral food challenge (OFC) and their caregivers.

Primary Outcome

The Children's Fear Scale (CFS) is used to measure the anxiety or fear level of the children. The one-item scale consists of a row of five sex neutral faces ranging from a no fear (neutral) face on the far left to a face showing extreme fear on the far right.

Interventions

  • BEHAVIORAL use of virtual reality
  • BEHAVIORAL use of standard technology
