In this study, we apply the treatment using VR (virtual reality) to the patients with chronic neuropathic pain, and evaluate the effects of VR on their pain. We evaluate the pain intensity and the extent of physical disabilities in their daily life, as well as analyze the change of brain blood flow measured by NIRS(near-infrared spectroscopy). We also aim to reveal the mechanism how VR treatment works on alleviating the pain.
Efficacy
The intensity of pain measured by NRS (numerical rating scale)
Interventional
Single arm
Non-randomized
Open -no one is blinded
Uncontrolled

Treatment
Device,equipment |
Research subjects experience an original VR program (a shooting game which takes about 10 minutes) using a VR headset once a day from day 0 to day 28. They visit the outpatient clinic on day 0, 14 and 28, when the intensity of pain and the extent of physical disabilities related to the pain are evaluated. They also experience the VR program with the NIRS device attached to their frontal head, which measures the change of blood flow in the frontal brain.
20 | years-old | <= |
Not applicable |
Male and Female
Research subjects should be patients who are treated in the outpatient pain clinic at our hospital, are 20 years old or older, regardless of gender. They also should have chronic neuropathic pain for more than 3 months.
The patients below should be excluded.
-the patients who cannot agree on joining the research
-the patients who also have nociceptive pain or neuroplastic pain
-the patients who are expected to be difficult to comply with the protocol or evaluate the outcome because of having psychotic illness or cognitive dysfunction
