VR-Powered Therapeutic Treatments

'EaseVRx' Utilizes VR Tools for Therapeutic Pain Treatment

— November 17, 2021 — Tech
The world of VR-powered therapeutic treatments is still a very small one. The 'EaseVRx' functions as a digital alternative to traditional therapeutic pain-relievers.

Developed by 'Applied VR,' the EaseVRx uses a VR headset paired with a small device geared towards amplifying the user's breathing sounds. The EaseVRx focuses on relaxation, distraction, and innovative forms of cognitive therapy to reduce the amount of pain the user feels. Also, it is important to note that the pain reduction can last for several months after using EaseVRx.

While this may seem like magic to some, the EaseVRx has achieved FDA approval with a testing study reporting a 30% reduction in pain in EaseVRx users. VR therapeutics are an interesting psychological tool because they function without requiring the ingesting of any drug or substance. Despite this, VR therapeutics still demonstrate concrete results in the realm of pain reduction.
