Neural Mechanisms of Immersive Virtual Reality in Chronic Pain (VR TMD EEG)
Sponsor: University of Maryland, Baltimore
Summary
This project examines, in chronic pain, the mechanisms of immersive virtual reality compared to the mechanisms of placebo hypoalgesia. The potential of developing new non-pharmacological premises for low-risk interventions for pain management is high.

Interventions
RelieVRx
Participants will use RelieVRx daily for 20min/day for 3 weeks
Sham-VR
Participants will use Sham-VR, consisting of video, images, and sound in a head-mounted display but lack the "sense of presence" and immersive features of Active-VR (for example, scene changes with head movement). Participants will use the Sham-VR daily for 20min/day for 3 weeks
No-VR (natural history control)
Participants will continue regular/usual care without any VR devices (goggles or audiovisual input)
