- Title
Ready Patient One: the role of therapeutic virtual reality in the future management of chronic pain.
- Authors
Tsigarides, Jordan; Shenker, Nicholas G; MacGregor, Alexander
- Abstract
The author discusses the role of therapeutic virtual reality (VR) in the future management of chronic pain as indicated in several studies. Topics covered include the importance of attention in modulating pain, how modulation of neural activity during acute painful stimuli has been shown to occur during VR experiences and the evidence from clinical trials that VR significantly reduces subjective experiences of acute pain. It tackles VR as a tool for traditional non-pharmacological treatments.
