Shriners is one of pediatric burn centers most prestigious in the United States. They
treat children across the country suffering from some of the worst possible-scald
burns on 70 percent of his body, burns covering their faces. recovery is notoriously
painful burns, necessitating a torturous daily removal of dead skin.
Hoffman, a cognitive psychologist, is here to offer children a different kind of pain
relief: virtual reality.
In "SnowCanyon," children float through a snow gun full of snowmen, igloos and the
woolly mammoth. They throw snowballs at the targets as they float along,
. "So there is less room for the brain to process pain signals."
VR reduces pain levels up to 50 percent,

Perhaps the most established medical use is virtual reality in psychiatry, which has
been used to treat phobias, PTSD and other psychological problems for at least 20
years. Treatment of PTSD with VR works similarly, exposing patients to a simulation
of a feared situation (a battle in Iraq, for example), and appears to be just as
effective.
Studies suggest that virtual exposure may help patients with paranoia, a common
symptom of various psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia.

VR has also proved a boon to amputees suffering from phantom limb pain, the
feeling that the retired member is still there, and suffering.
VR also stands to revolutionize the field of the image. Instead of looking at an MRI or
CT scan imaging, doctors are beginning to use VR to interact with 3D images of
body parts and systems.
virtual medical devices actually cost hundreds of thousands of dollars while a
headset Oculus Rift is a little over $ 700 use in medicine probably will become more
widespread.
