Results: Twenty patients (11 girls and nine boys mean age 11.5 years, SD 4.5 years mean weight 41.5 kg, SD 20.7 kg) who met all the inclusion criteria were recruited. The variables were variations in pupil size measured using the AlgiScan video pupilometer (IDMed, Marseille, France), heart rate variability measured using the Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) monitor (Mdoloris Medical Systems, Loos, France), intensity of pain measured using the Numerical Rating Scale (score 0-10), and self-administered morphine pump parameters. Methods: Clinical records were compared between the day prior to the use of EVGs and the day after the use of EVGs. The secondary objective was to assess the association between changes in pain intensity and sympathetic-parasympathetic balance in this sample of pediatric patients. Objective: The main objective of this study was to assess the association between the use of EVGs and the intensity of pain caused by chemotherapy-induced mucositis in pediatric patients with cancer. Use of electronic video games (EVGs) has been shown to be an effective method of analgesia in other clinical settings. See correction statement in: īackground: Patients with secondary pain due to mucositis after chemotherapy require treatment with morphine. Related ArticleThis is a corrected version.
