There is strong evidence that VR can help reduce pain like a study published in the journal Cyberpsychology and Behavior found that people who used VR during dental procedures reported significantly less pain and anxiety than those who did not use VR andThe study’s authors suggest that VR may be particularly effective at distracting people from pain by immersing them in another reality.
Other studies have shown that VR can be effective in treating other types of pain, such as burn wounds and chronic conditions like fibromyalgia. While more research is needed to confirm these findings, the available evidence indicates that VR may be a promising tool for reducing pain.
