Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In this study, we apply the treatment using VR (virtual reality) to the patients with chronic neuropathic pain, and evaluate the effects of VR on their pain. We evaluate the pain intensity and the extent of physical disabilities in their daily life, as well as analyze the change of brain blood flow measured by NIRS(near-infrared spectroscopy). We also aim to reveal the mechanism how VR treatment works on alleviating the pain.

Interventions/Control_1

Research subjects experience an original VR program (a shooting game which takes about 10 minutes) using a VR headset once a day from day 0 to day 28. They visit the outpatient clinic on day 0, 14 and 28, when the intensity of pain and the extent of physical disabilities related to the pain are evaluated. They also experience the VR program with the NIRS device attached to their frontal head, which measures the change of blood flow in the frontal brain.
