Management of Pain in Limb Neuropathic Conditions Through Immersive Virtual Reality

Investigating how neuropathic limb pain, including phantom limb pain or complex regional pain
syndrome, is affected by virtual reality. While several studies have looked into virtual
reality for treating this type of pain, few have used the latest immersive virtual reality
hardware combined with motion control for an engaging virtual mirror therapy experience. The
investigators are interested in studying the use of virtual reality as an alternative
treatment option for these conditions.

limb
