Study Summary
To assess treatment with an at-home Virtual Reality Guided Imagery (VR-GI) intervention, 36 patients with chronic pain (18 with chronic back pain, CBP, and 18 with complex regional pain syndrome, CRPS) will complete a 2-week intervention with at-home daily practice of VR-GI (n = 24) or audio-only GI (n = 12). Pre-post treatment measures of pain intensity, opioid use, functional outcomes, and mood will be collected. Intervention feasibility and patient satisfaction will be evaluated post-treatment via questionnaire and qualitative interview.
