Virtual Reality for Chronic Pain and Opioid Use Disorder Pilot

The virtual reality device that will be piloted is called RelieVRx, which incorporates evidence-based principles of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and pain neuroscience education into an immersive and enhanced biofeedback experience. RelieVRx includes breathing training and relaxation response exercises that activate the parasympathetic nervous system. RelieVRx was designed for at-home use and comes with a sequence of daily immersive experiences.

The sham VR control is a non-immersive set of 56 daily virtual experiences, tuned to the length of the RelieVRx.
