Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of a Virtual Reality-Assisted Hypnotherapy Program on Quality of Life in Patients with Chronic Neck Pain: a Multicenter, Randomized, Prospective, Comparative, Open-Label, Parallel-Group Study

Virtual Reality-Assisted Hypnotherapy utilizes HypnoVR software delivered through VR glasses to provide a relaxing virtual environment. The intervention is integrated into a standard physical therapy program, with participants receiving 20-minute VR-assisted hypnotherapy sessions during each of the 15 supervised physical therapy sessions over a 3-week period. This approach aims to improve pain management, quality of life, and adherence to treatment in patients with chronic neck pain.

Participants in the control group will undergo a standard physical therapy program focused on the cervical region, consisting of 15 sessions over 3 weeks. Each session will be supervised by physiotherapists in a clinical setting and will include traditional physical therapy techniques such as therapeutic exercises
