Firsthand ID for Pain Control

NCT01823874 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2013-12-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Clinical benefits of VR analgesia have been empirically demonstrated as either an alternative or in combination with opioids. Issues of cost, ergonomics, and maintenance of the hardware systems have limited the wider use of this benefit to the public. Firsthand Technology has designed a system to meet the performance requirements for high levels of pain control in a durable, ergonomic package at a greatly reduced cost compared to the current systems in use. This study will validate the new system by running a thermal pain study that tests the effect of the new system (ID) compared to the established standard helmet currently used.
