What You Should Know:– AppliedVR, an immersive therapeutics (ITx) pioneer advancing a novel, virtual reality-based approach to medicine, today announced results from a secondary analysis of a large randomized controlled trial (RCT) that evaluated whether socio-demographic factors affected the clinical effectiveness of receiving a virtual reality (VR) therapy that treats chronic low back pain (cLBP) at home.– Researchers sought to determine whether there were differences among key participant cohorts across patient-reported clinical effectiveness, therapeutic program engagement, and patient-reported VR device usability ratings.RelieVRx: A Breakthrough in Pain Management Across Diverse DemographicsThe study published in the Journal of Medical Extended Reality revealed that AppliedVR’s FDA-authorized RelieVRx device produced clinically effective results across various demographics, including age, gender, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Notably, therapeutic program engagement remained consistent across these socio-demographic categories, with the exception of age, where older adults (65+) demonstrated greater engagement than their younger counterparts. Usability ratings for RelieVRx were consistently high (A+), with only minor variations observed among different racial/ethnic groups.The established inequities in chronic pain care highlight the potential of immersive therapeutics like RelieVRx to overcome common barriers to care. By offering a clinically validated intervention that patients can self-administer at home without the need for connectivity or complicated setups, healthcare providers can reduce dependence on pharmacological treatments and surgical procedures. This scalable solution addresses the diverse needs of patient populations effectively.Previous research published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Digital Health also supports the efficacy of RelieVRx, demonstrating significant reductions in pain intensity and pain interference among adults with chronic lower back pain (cLBP). Participants who completed the program experienced an average reduction of 2.0 points in pain intensity and 2.3 points in pain interference on a numerical rating scale from zero to ten
