PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the feasibility of VR in patients undergoing procedural intervention. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To estimate differences between the two arms in terms of pain and anxiety. II. To document any adverse events that could possibly be attributed to the VR intervention. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Explore the use of biomarkers as a tool to reflect the impact of intervention. OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Participants undergo VR intervention peri-procedure (bone marrow biopsy or lumbar puncture) lasting until completion of the procedure. ARM II: Participants receive standard of care during procedure (bone marrow biopsy or lumbar puncture).
