ABSTRACT
Burning pain is one of the most frequent and difficult to treat complications due to
various mechanisms that trigger it, several management strategies have been used, with
beneficial results, an alternative non-pharmacological treatment of pain is the application
of virtual reality, which allows a new form of distraction, giving the patient the
illusion of immersion in a three-dimensional environment generated by a computer,
which simulates the illusion as if the patient were physically in the place that at that
moment is observing; this is a non-invasive strategy, at the head of the patient, which
allows the patient to be more relaxed in painful situations such as healing, physical
rehabilitation, position changes, etc.
