Intervention Type: Device, Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
This project examines, in chronic pain, the mechanisms of immersive virtual reality compared to the mechanisms of placebo hypoalgesia. The potential of developing new non-pharmacological premises for low-risk interventions for pain management is high.
