Article Abstract
As rapid development of medical technology, virtual reality (VR) technology has been extensively applied in anesthesiology training. Anesthesia simulation base on virtual reality technology offers an innovative teaching method for the professional training of anesthesiologists, both anesthesia technical training and improving teaching efficiency. The anesthesia technical training, include airway management, spinal/epidural anesthesia, nerve block skill training, and pain management. In addition, virtual reality is improving teaching efficiency, include distance teaching, doctor-patient communication simulation and scenario simulation. It allows trainees to practice and refine critical clinical skills in a highly realistic simulation without any risks, especially in the high risk and technically demanding field of anesthesia. At present, literature is lacking on the recent virtual reality technology in anesthesia simulation. Hence, this article will summarize the reference basis for current application status of virtual reality technology in anesthesia simulation, aiming to provide insights for future teaching in anesthesiology simulation. This article is useful for anesthesiologists, clinical staff, teaching professors, and researchers in the field of simulation teaching.

The increasing prevalence of depression has highlighted Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) as an effective treatment. However, conventional MBCT has several limitations, including barriers to access, the need for trained professionals, and inconsistent levels of participant engagement. The feasibility of using Virtual Reality (VR) for MBCT has emerged as a promising solution, but further research is needed to assess its therapeutic potential.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare nitrous oxide (N2O) vs virtual reality (VR) as methods for reducing pain and anxiety during a dental injection. The primary objectives were to assess acute changes in stress responses by comparing salivary cortisol levels between the 2 groups and differences in injection pain scores.
Methods: A total of 132 female subjects serving as their own control received maxillary lateral incisor infiltration injections with the use of either N2O or a VR headset during separate appointments spaced at least 2 weeks apart.
Introduction: Distraction methods such as virtual reality and cold vibration devices (Buzzy) are recommended during vascular access. Few studies focused on distraction during intramuscular injection.
Methods: This study evaluated the effect of distraction methods on procedure-related pain, fear, and anxiety during the intramuscular injection in children aged 5 to 12 years in the pediatric emergency department.

Background: Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are safe and effective long-acting reversible contraceptive therapies that are also used as minimally invasive treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia, and early-stage endometrial cancer. Despite many advantages, IUDs are underused predominantly due to patient discomfort. Although many techniques have been explored previously in the literature, there is currently little consensus on effective analgesic strategies.

Introduction: Modern orthopaedic residency training increasingly integrates knowledge, skills, and behavior (KSB), in line with updated American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) and Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) guidelines. Developments in simulation technology-including high-fidelity simulators, virtual reality, and data-driven assessment tools-enable programs to target both technical and non-technical competencies. This paper examines how innovations in simulation, curriculum design, and performance assessment are shaping the future of orthopaedic education.
