Primary outcomes

Numeric Rating Scale Pain Scores Immediately Post-biopsy — Single time point evaluation completed immediately following biopsy procedure
For each participant, the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score immediately post-biopsy will be captured indicating the participants' severity of pain. The score for each participant will be categorized into 6 ordinal categories (0 No Pain, 1-2 Very Mild, 3-4 Mild, 5-6 Moderate, 7-8 Severe, 9-10 Unbearable) and used to assess if those using the Virtual Reality Headset during the procedure experienced less overall pain immediately following the bone marrow biopsy.
