Abstract

Purpose of Review

This review critically analyzes the recent literature on virtual reality’s (VR) use in acute and chronic pain management, offering insights into its efficacy, applications, and limitations.

Recent Findings

Recent studies, including meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials, have demonstrated VR’s effectiveness in reducing pain intensity in various acute pain scenarios, such as procedural/acute pain and in chronic pain conditions. The role of factors such as immersion and presence in enhancing VR’s efficacy has been emphasized. Further benefits have been identified in the use of VR for assessment as well as symptom gathering through conversational avatars. However, studies are limited, and strong conclusions will require further investigation.

Summary

VR is emerging as a promising non-pharmacological intervention in pain management for acute and chronic pain. However, its long-term efficacy, particularly in chronic pain management, remains an area requiring further research. Key findings highlight that VR programs vary in efficacy depending on the specificity of the origin of pain.
