Exploring the Role of Immersive Virtual Reality in Managing Upper-limb Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in Adults
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating in clinic pain VR reduction exercises and In clinic VRpain reduction exercises + VR homeworks for Pain, Chronic. Completed, enrolled 7 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is designed to test if the use of virtual reality (VR) can improve chronic pain related to CRPS. One way is to use virtual reality. Virtual reality involves looking into a set of goggles and interacting with a computer-simulated world. The use of VR has been shown to be an effective treatment for other pain conditions (Hoffman et al., 2019) and is inexpensive and noninvasive.

Timeline
Interventions
During the in clinic training phase, participants will use commercially available VR during "in clinic" VR physical therapy exercises, to help reduce their pain and improve functionality. But this group will not take a VR system home until after completing the in clinic training phase.
During the training phase, participants will use commercially available VR during "in clinic" physical therapy exercises, and during the training phase, they will also receive a VR system they take home and will begin VR homeworks during the traininng phase, to help reduce their pain and improve functionality.
