VR Solution Revolutionizes Workers’ Compensation Pain Management

AppliedVR, a leader in immersive therapeutic solutions, has launched its flagship product, RelieVR, into the workers’ compensation market. This FDA-authorized virtual reality (VR) program is the first of its kind to provide comprehensive, non-pharmacological treatment for chronic lower back pain (CLBP) specifically for injured workers.

RelieVR leverages immersive VR technology to offer a groundbreaking approach to pain management. Patients engage in interactive VR sessions that teach valuable pain management skills, making it a cost-effective and safe alternative to traditional treatments like opioids and surgeries. Clinical studies have demonstrated significant reductions in pain intensity and improvements in daily activities, sleep, mood, and stress, with benefits lasting up to two years post-treatment.

The program consists of 56 interactive VR chapters, each about six minutes long, that patients can complete from the comfort of their homes. This innovative solution promotes neuroplasticity, helping the brain reorganize neural pathways associated with pain perception. AppliedVR’s VR therapy aims to be widely accepted in the workers’ compensation community, offering a sustainable and effective option for pain relief and overall well-being.
