Experimental Treatment

Group I: Skills-Based VRExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants will complete daily skills-based Virtual Reality (VR) sessions for 8 weeks (an average of 6 minutes per day) to determine the feasibility of at-home VR technology to aid the recovery of acute orthopedic musculoskeletal injuries. The VR device software is equipped with pain-specific treatment modules (e.g., Pain Education, Relaxation/Interoception, Mindful Escapes, and Pain Distraction Games) derived from evidence-based principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and pain neuroscience education.
