Can chronic pain be treated using virtual reality?

Beyond the Medicine Cabinet

For many chronic pain sufferers, treatment options are limited to either polypharmacy or invasive surgeries, each coming with its own unique set of side effects and risks. However, could a virtual reality headset be another option? Wilfred Lax and Dhani Sutanto believe so.  They explain why virtual reality is the future of chronic pain management, and how they envision their innovative technology, the Trancedeucer and CognitiVR, fitting into that future. We also look at the virtual reality pain management method, through the eyes of pain sufferers, Jessica and Samira.
