Randomized-controlled trial of virtual reality for chronic low back pain to improve patient-reported outcomes and physical activity: Understanding Patient Predictors of Response

项目摘要 尽管数字健康技术现在广泛用于治疗和 监测应用中，患者的知识、态度、信念和 关于数字健康干预措施的采用和有效性的偏好。此外还有 参与数字健康研究意愿的社会人口统计学差异， 慢性疼痛和其他常见疾病。然而，很少有人努力 系统地检查数字健康吸收和受益的患者水平预测因素， 不同的慢性疼痛患者。在这项试验性研究中，我们将采用混合方法， NIH赞助的大型试验中不同参与者的参与度和获益差异 研究虚拟现实（VR）对慢性下背痛（cLBP）的益处。

PROJECT SUMMARY Although digital health technologies are now widely available for both therapeutic and monitoring applications, there are wide variations in patient knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and preferences regarding uptake and effectiveness of digital health interventions. In addition, there are sociodemographic variations in willingness to engage in digital health studies, both for chronic pain and other common disorders. However, there have been few efforts to systematically examine patient-level predictors of digital health uptake and benefit among diverse patients with chronic pain. In this pilot study, we will employ mixed methods to examine variations in engagement and benefit among diverse participants in a large NIH-sponsored trial examining benefits of virtual reality (VR) for chronic lower back pain (cLBP).
