Illusion-enhanced virtual reality exercise for neck pain: A replicated single case series

Clinical Journal of Pain Jan 11, 2020

Harvie DS, et al. - Given the promising value of body illusions in treating some chronic pain conditions, researchers examined if neck exercises conducted in virtual reality (VR) with visual feedback of rotation amplified would decrease persistent neck pain. In a multiple-baseline replicated single case series, a four-phase intervention was completed by eight blinded individuals with persistent neck pain (initial n = 12, 4 dropouts): (1) “baseline”; (2) “VR” during which participants performed rotation exercises in VR with no manipulation of visual feedback; (3) “VR enhanced” during which identical exercises were performed but visual feedback overstated the range of motion being performed; (4) “follow-up.” Primary outcomes did not differ between VR and baseline, VR enhanced and VR, or VR enhanced and follow-up. Findings thus suggest that persistent neck pain does not reduce with neck exercises performed in VR with visual feedback of rotation amplified.
