Summary

Pain is among the most common chronic conditions in the adult population, often associated with decreased quality of life, functional impairments, increased medication use, increased medical expenditures, and significant economic costs. Due to the worsening opioid crisis, non-pharmacological approaches, such as rehabilitative care, are needed. However, access to in-person rehabilitative care may be limited due to transportation barriers, time constraints, and patient preference to remain at home. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated barriers to access in-person care, bringing the benefits of tele-rehabilitation into sharper focus. Remote models of care and novel treatment strategies, specifically the utilization of virtual reality (VR) augmented care are emerging as potentially viable treatment alternatives. This paper intends to explore the potential effectiveness of this method of care delivery in patients presenting for rehabilitative care with a primary complaint of pain.

Virtual Reality Augmented remote rehabilitation

XRHealth offers remote skilled therapy treatments such as education, exercise, and VR-augmented activities. The platform consists of the VRHealth portal with multiple immersive applications for measurement, motor-cognitive training, and mindfulness/cognitive behavioral applications for symptom relief, the external control application, and the XR Health data portal with real-time analytics for evaluating performance. Contraindications for VR use are assessed. Treatment sessions are 60 min long. Duration and frequency are based on clinical judgement. VR interventions used are; VR motor-cognitive: ReAct, Color Match, Memorize, Rotate, and Balloon Blast; VR Reliever: Relax 8, Luna, and Mindset. An external VR portal and mirroring software allows the clinician to view patient activities in real time. Additionally, the clinician can remotely monitor patient performance via the external portal and adjust parameters accordingly.
