VR Solace for Pain and Anxiety Using Survey and Biodata
July 18, 2022 updated by: Omer Liran
Effects of Virtual Reality on Pain and Anxiety Using Validated Surveys and Biodata Analysis
The purpose of this study is to assess the therapeutic response to VR Solace in patients with chronic pain and anxiety using real-time clinical and survey data.
Regression analysis of demographic characteristics, lab and survey data will be conducted to better understand the efficacy of VR Solace in treating chronic pain and anxiety.
The investigator also aims to explore the possible association between the patient-reported changes in pain or anxiety levels with real-time physiological changes observed during VR Solace use.

Participation Criteria
Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study
18 years to 99 years (Adult, Older Adult)
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
No
Genders Eligible for Study
All
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age 18+
- Endorsing pain/anxiety with objective measurement of 3 or greater on 10-point scale on validated survey
- Diagnosis with chronic pain/anxiety
Exclusion Criteria:
- Exclusion of patients that are followed by CL Psychiatry team at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to avoid overlap with another ongoing VR study
- No active diagnosis of medical conditions that may cause physiological variations in vital signs (i.e. sepsis, cardiogenic shock/arrhythmia)
- No active diagnosis of seizures, migraines, severe nausea, severe propensity for motion sickness, or facial/head deformities that would allow for comfortable placement of headset
- Exclusions of patient currently taking beta blockers
- Unable to communicate/read English for survey items
- Unable to use VR independently - patients will be expected to maneuver through questions/steps of the VR system during the session

Design Details
- Primary Purpose: Treatment
- Allocation: N/A
- Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
- Masking: None (Open Label)
Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Solace VR
This arm will include software that provides immersive distraction based content for pain reduction.
|
Participants will use the VR audio and visual head-mounted device.
The device is a standalone VR headset.
The device supports 3 degrees of freedom (3DOF) head tracking, has best-in-class optics, and a wide field-of-view.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Patient-reported pain level pre-VR session
Time Frame: Baseline
|
Pain level pre-VR Solace as measured by Patient-Reported 11-point numeric rating scale (Continuous, 0-10, higher the worse).
|
Baseline
|
Patient-reported pain level post-VR session
Time Frame: 15 minutes after the VR session (post-study completion)
|
Pain level post-VR Solace as measured by Patient-Reported 11-point numeric rating scale (Continuous, 0-10, higher the worse).
|
15 minutes after the VR session (post-study completion)
|
Patient-reported anxiety level pre-VR session
Time Frame: Baseline
|
Anxiety level pre-VR Solace as measured by Patient-Reported 6-question version of State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (4-point scale for each question, e.g. from "Almost Never" to "Almost Always".
The scores are added up to produce a total score of anxiety.
Higher scores indicate greater anxiety).
|
Baseline
|
Patient-reported anxiety level post-VR session
Time Frame: 15 minutes after the VR session (post-study completion)
|
Anxiety level post-VR Solace as measured by Patient-Reported 6-question version of State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (4-point scale for each question, e.g. from "Almost Never" to "Almost Always".
The scores are added up to produce a total score of anxiety.
Higher scores indicate greater anxiety).
