Article Synopsis
- Virtual reality (VR) therapy's effectiveness for treating chronic spinal pain (CSP) is analyzed through a systematic comparison with other therapies, especially for patients with inflammation-related pain.
- A meta-analysis of 16 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 800 participants indicates that VR therapy significantly reduces pain intensity and inflammatory markers, even though it does not notably affect spinal range of motion, disability, or fear of movement.
- While VR therapy shows promising results, many studies exhibit a high risk of bias, suggesting the need for cautious interpretation of the findings.
