Abstract:
Objective:To re-evaluate the systematic reviews of the effectiveness of virtual reality technology in pain management in children.Methods:Using computers to search for systematic reviews of the effectiveness of virtual reality technology in pain management for pediatric patients in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and Web of Science. The retrieval period was from the establishment of the databases to November 4, 2022. Literature screening and data extraction were conducted independently by two researchers, methodological quality evaluation was performed for the included studies using the A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews 2 (AMSTAR 2) checklist, and the evidence quality rating was evaluated using Grades of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system.Results:A total of 14 systematic reviews were included. AMSTAR 2 evaluation results showed that the methodological quality of 2 systematic reviews was low, and 12 were extremely low. GRADE was used to evaluate the quality of evidence of the outcome indicators, and the results showed that among the 26 outcome indicators included, 23.08% (6/26) were medium evidence, 76.92% (20/26) were low evidence, and the quality of no evidence was high.Conclusions:There is a lack of high-quality evidence to support the conclusion that virtual reality technology can relieve pain in children. The methodological quality and evidence quality of systematic reviews are low, and more standardized and rigorous studies need to be carried out in the future to further verify the application effect of virtual reality technology in pain management of children.
