A scoping review of the effects of virtual reality and computer-based interventions for people with chronic pain: does it feel like we’re there yet?

Abstract

Although virtual reality VR is shown to have short-term analgesic effects in acute pain settings, its long-term efficacy with chronic pain conditions has not been established. This scoping review aims to provide a summary of VR approaches explored in chronic primary and secondary pain conditions as defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain.
