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

项目总结 尽管数字健康技术现在广泛用于治疗和 监测应用，患者的知识、态度、信念和 对数字健康干预措施的接受和有效性的偏好。此外，还有 在参与数字健康研究的意愿方面是否存在社会人口统计学差异， 慢性疼痛和其他常见疾病。然而，几乎没有人做出努力来 系统地检查患者层面的数字健康采纳和收益预测因素 不同的慢性疼痛患者。在这项初步研究中，我们将使用混合方法来检查 美国国立卫生研究院赞助的一项大型试验中不同参与者之间参与度和受益的差异 研究虚拟现实(VR)对慢性下腰痛(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).
