虚拟现实技术应用于急慢性疼痛管理中的系列研究综述

Systematic Review of Virtual Reality Technology Applications in Acute and Chronic Pain Management

既往研究表明虚拟现实(Virtual Reality,VR)技术可应用于疼痛管理,与传统药物相比不良反应的发生频率和程度均较低,作为一种极具吸引力的技术,有望减少止痛药物的使用,因此在疼痛管理上有着广阔的应用前景。但目前尚不清楚患者哪些临床特征、疼痛症状、VR治疗方式和环境因素会影响其应用效果。本综述的目的是探讨VR治疗急慢性疼痛可能机制及对治疗有效性进行分析,旨在为今后临床应用及科学研究中疗效评定、VR技术中软件设计以及目标人群选择提供参考。

Previous research has demonstrated that virtual reality(VR)technology can be utilized for pain management,offering lower frequencies and degrees of side effects compared to traditional medications.As a highly promising technology,VR has the potential to reduce the reliance on analgesic drugs,thus presenting a broad scope for application in pain management.However,it remains unclear which patient clinical characteristics,pain symptoms,VR treatment modalities,and environmental factors influence its efficacy.This review aims to explore the potential mechanisms of VR in treating acute and chronic pain and analyze its effectiveness.The goal is to provide references for future clinical applications,scientific research,efficacy evaluation,VR software design,and target population selection.
