慢性疼痛的治疗可能受益于额外的非阿片类药物干预。虚拟现实 (VR) 已被证明可以有效减轻手术疼痛或急性疼痛，但迄今为止，很少有研究将其用于慢性疼痛。本研究旨在调查虚拟现实应用对慢性疼痛的影响。三十 (30) 名患有各种慢性疼痛的参与者使用名为 Cool! 的虚拟现实应用程序进行了五分钟的课程。在 VR 课程之前、课程期间和课程结束后，参与者被问及他们的疼痛情况，使用 0-10 视觉模拟量表进行评分。他们还被问及沉浸在 VR 世界中的情况以及可能出现的副作用。从治疗前到治疗后，疼痛减轻了 33%。 VR 会话期间的疼痛比会话前减少了 60%。这些变化均在 p < .001 水平上具有统计显着性。三名参与者 (10%) 报告前后疼痛评分没有变化。 10 名参与者 (33%) 表示在进行虚拟现实课程时疼痛完全缓解。所有参与者（100%）都报告说，在治疗前疼痛和治疗期间疼痛之间疼痛有所减轻。虚拟现实体验可以显着缓解疼痛。所有受试者均使用头戴式显示器 (HMD)，没有出现任何不适。只有一名参与者注意到任何副作用。 VR 似乎有望作为一种非阿片类药物治疗慢性疼痛，并且有必要进行进一步的研究。
The treatment of chronic pain could benefit from additional non-opioid interventions. Virtual reality (VR) has been shown to be effective in decreasing pain for procedural or acute pain but to date there have been few studies on its use in chronic pain. The present study was an investigation of the impact of a virtual reality application for chronic pain. Thirty (30) participants with various chronic pain conditions were offered a five-minute session using a virtual reality application called Cool! Participants were asked about their pain using a 0–10 visual analog scale rating before the VR session, during the session and immediately after the session. They were also asked about immersion into the VR world and about possible side effects. Pain was reduced from pre-session to post-session by 33%. Pain was reduced from pre-session during the VR session by 60%. These changes were both statistically significant at the p < .001 level. Three participants (10%) reported no change between pre and post pain ratings. Ten participants (33%) reported complete pain relief while doing the virtual reality session. All participants (100%) reported a decrease in pain to some degree between pre-session pain and during-session pain. The virtual reality experience was found here to provide a significant amount of pain relief. A head mounted display (HMD) was used with all subjects and no discomfort was experienced. Only one participant noted any side effects. VR seems to have promise as a non-opioid treatment for chronic pain and further investigation is warranted.
