Answer

Does VR really reduce the need for sedatives in children?

Doctors at Son Llàtzer say the headset can make procedures easier because children cooperate better and feel less stressed. In some cases, that means stronger sedatives or extra support measures are needed less often, although VR is only one tool and not a replacement for medical care.
