In clinical environments, Miller et al., (1992)2 used video distraction therapy to reduce anxiety and pain intensity in patients receiving medical treatments following limb amputation.

The study recommended a wider application of video distraction techniques for pain management, and suggested that burns patients may particularly benefit from these methods by preventing pain-anxiety during dressing changes.

Although video distraction techniques have proven efficacy, they have not been widely accepted in clinical environments.

Hospitals encountered difficulties finding space for audiovisual equipment amidst other hospital furniture and critical care equipment.

Nurses also reported difficulties during dressing changes, since television screens could not be readily situated to accommodate the patient's bed position.
