简要总结
This study will determine if occupational therapy or the combination of occupational therapy and virtual reality is the better treatment for chronic low back pain (CLBP)patients.
详细描述
Chronic musculoskeletal pain is defined as persistent or recurrent pain lasting more than 3 months. Chronic pain is a complex and disabling physiological and psychosocial disorder that does not provide an adaptive or protective purpose. In chronic pain, the precipitating event (e.g., fracture, sprain, trauma) is healed, and yet excessive pain remains. In Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) people experience a three-dimensional, computer-generated environment via a computer headset. IVR has been used to treat acute pain, but there have been few focused studies on the effects of IVR on chronic pain. When people with chronic pain are in IVR, they become unaware of their body and tend to move normally. We would like to test to see if IVR has a lasting effect in this study. Thus, IVR has strong potential as an additional tool in an arsenal of treatments for chronic pain. This study will examine if IVR can reduce pain and other symptoms in people with chronic pain.

结局指标
主要结局
Changes from Baseline in average rating of chronic pain at 3 months using Numeric Pain Rating Scale
时间窗: Baseline vs 3 months
Numeric Pain Rating questionnaire will assess how much a person hurts with a question ranked on a 11-point scale, from "0 = no pain" to "10 = worst pain imaginable." The minimum raw summed score is 0 and the maximum score is 10. Lower raw response scores suggest lower pain intensity and better outcomes.
次要结局
- Change from Baseline Pain Intensity at 3 months using PROMIS-29(Baseline vs 3 months)
- Change from Baseline participation and scaling at 3 months using Goal Attainment Scale (GAS)(Baseline vs 3 months)
- Change from Baseline self-efficacy using Pain Self Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ).(Baseline vs 3 months)
- Change from Baseline fear of movement using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK).(Baseline vs 3 months)
