Clinical Trial on Deprescribing Associated With a Psychoeducational Program Using Virtual Reality for Patients With Chronic Pain and Central Sensitization
Sponsor: Badalona Serveis Assistencials
Summary
This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of the REDOCVR program, an interdisciplinary, psychoeducational intervention designed to support deprescribing of chronic pain medications in primary care. REDOCVR integrates group-based education, physical activation, and emotional regulation techniques, enhanced by immersive virtual reality (VR) content that reinforces therapeutic learning and engagement. Rather than functioning as a standalone tool, VR serves as a complementary catalyst within a person-centered, clinician-guided framework. This randomized trial adds a structured medication tapering component and runs in parallel with a complementary pilot study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT06361706), which evaluates the base REDOCVR program without supervised deprescribing. Both protocols are active and jointly contribute to an adaptive, scalable model of chronic pain care in primary care settings. Outcomes include medication use, emotional well-being, anxiety and depression, quality of life, and usability of VR.
