Self-Administered Skills-Based Virtual Reality Intervention for Chronic Pain

Didactic content delivered in virtual reality to support participants in learning cognitive and behavioral self-management skills based on cognitive-based therapy, biofeedback, and mindfulness strategies for pain management.

The audio program consisted of the majority of the same narrative content contained in the VR program. Owing to VR having a visual and auditory media form, about one-third of the VR program could not be included in the audio. Participants accessed 21 audio recordings on SoundCloud and asked to complete one session each day.
