Summary

In this study we assessed the feasibility of a VR-guided intervention seeking to improve physical fitness in individuals with chronic pain. In a randomised controlled trial with a cross-over design and participants in rehabilitation for chronic pain were asked to perform, in a counter-balanced order, five minutes of aerobic exercise following identical instructions given through either a VR headset or TV screen. The procedures were then repeated with mindfulness exercises. Heart rate (HR) was monitored throughout all four sessions and participants self-reported perceived exercise intensity, benefit, relaxation, and reward. Paired Student's t-test, Wilcoxon signed rank test and McNemar's test were performed to compare the outcome variables across sessions for individuals, as appropriate.
