This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effect of artificial intelligence-generated video distraction delivered via virtual reality on procedural fear and pain in children undergoing circumcision. A total of 80 children aged 4-12 years were assigned to an intervention group (n=40) or a control group (n=40). Children in the intervention group received AI-generated video distraction via virtual reality, whereas children in the control group received routine care. Pain and emotional responses were assessed from the perspectives of the child, parent, and nurse. Physiological parameters were also measured before and after the procedure. The study aimed to determine whether AI-generated video distraction delivered via virtual reality reduces procedural fear and pain during pediatric circumcision.
The criteria were revised on the registry on Oct 9, 2026. See what changed
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
Children in the intervention group watched a 3-minute artificial intelligence-generated video through a virtual reality headset before circumcision, in addition to routine care.
Behavioral: AI-Generated Video Distraction via Virtual Reality
Children in the control group received routine care without the virtual reality video intervention.
Artificial intelligence-generated video content is presented through a virtual reality headset as a distraction intervention for children undergoing circumcision. The intervention is intended to reduce procedural fear and pain.
Pain Scores at the Post-Test Assessment
Pain intensity was assessed using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale, ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst pain. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity. The child, parent, and nurse independently rated the child's pain. Baseline pain was also assessed 30 minutes before circumcision in both groups.
Time frame: 1 hour after circumcision.
Preoperative Fear Scores
Child-reported fear was assessed using the six-face Scary Scale, with scores ranging from 0 to 10. Higher scores indicate greater fear. Separate parent and nurse ratings of the child's fear were also recorded.
Time frame: Immediately before and immediately after the 3-minute preoperative video in the intervention group. Once at the corresponding baseline time point in the control group.
Preoperative State Anxiety Scores
Child-reported state anxiety was assessed using the Children's Anxiety Meter-State, a thermometer-like scale ranging from 0 to 10. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety. Separate parent and nurse ratings of the child's anxiety were also recorded.
Time frame: Immediately before and immediately after the 3-minute preoperative video in the intervention group. Once at the corresponding baseline time point in the control group.
Heart Rate
Heart rate was measured in beats per minute in both groups.
Time frame: 30 minutes before circumcision and 1 hour after circumcision in both groups.
Body Temperature
Body temperature was measured in degrees Celsius in both groups.
Time frame: 30 minutes before circumcision and 1 hour after circumcision in both groups.
Peripheral Oxygen Saturation
Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) was measured as a percentage in both groups.
Time frame: 30 minutes before circumcision and 1 hour after circumcision in both groups.
Respiratory Rate
Respiratory rate was measured in breaths per minute in both groups.
Time frame: 30 minutes before circumcision and 1 hour after circumcision in both groups.
Plan to share: No — Individual participant data will not be publicly shared due to participant privacy and confidentiality considerations.

Ran from Jun 2026 to primary completion in Sep 2026, 3 months.
Of 141 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Pain, Procedural, half reached primary completion within 7 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 15. This study's 3 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 141 studies reached it within 7 months; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 15.
Since we started tracking on Sep 25, 2026, the dates moved once, on Oct 9, 2026: start Oct 2025 → Jun 2026, primary completion May 2026 → Sep 2026 and completion Aug 2026 → Sep 2026.
