Chronic pain is a significant public health issue that affects millions of individuals worldwide. The aim of this study is to develop and test a novel technology platform for neurofeedback and VR-based treatment for chronic pain, while also exploring kinematic analysis and the use of wireless sensors for recording trajectory data. People with pain have restricted movement often limited by a fear of pain. The new platform will provide a safe and entertaining environment to encourage people with pain to perform a wider range of functional movements than they would normally do. In addition, movement analysis algorithms based on contactless sensors will provide a quantitative measure of the quality of movement and will assess patient progress The system will be tested on healthy people and with the support of collaborators at the Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injuries Unit and EPSRC Neurotechnologies for pain, Network + on selected patients with chronic muscular pain

慢性疼痛是一个重要的公共卫生问题，影响着全世界数百万人。这项研究的目的是开发和测试一种新的技术平台，用于神经反馈和基于VR的慢性疼痛治疗，同时探索运动学分析和使用无线传感器记录轨迹数据。患有疼痛的人通常因害怕疼痛而限制活动。新平台将提供一个安全和娱乐的环境，鼓励疼痛患者进行比正常情况下更广泛的功能性运动。此外，基于非接触式传感器的运动分析算法将提供运动质量的定量测量，并将评估患者的进展。该系统将在健康人群中进行测试，并在伊丽莎白女王国家脊髓损伤单位和EPSRC Neurotechnologies for pain，Network +的合作者的支持下，对选定的慢性肌肉疼痛患者进行测试。
