Virtual reality (VR) is an innovative technology with the potential to enhance treatment for children with chronic pain and functional symptoms.

- - The study investigated how factors like pain distribution, coping skills, and pain intensity affect the treatment response of pediatric patients undergoing intensive interdisciplinary pain treatment (IIPT) for chronic pain.
- - Involving 110 patients with varied pain conditions, the research used self-reported assessments to track changes in functional disability over time, identifying significant interactions between these variables.
- - Findings revealed that patients with widespread pain and poor coping strategies experienced the highest levels of functional disability, suggesting that understanding these factors better could enhance treatment outcomes for severely affected chronic pain patients.
