Pain Rehabilitation Virtual Reality (PRVR): Innovations to Enhance Mobility in the Presence of Pain

The proposed research is a two-group randomized controlled trial (RCT) of pain rehabilitation virtual reality (PRVR) aimed at measuring changes in physical function and fear for adolescents with chronic musculoskeletal pain when compared to Standard Physiotherapy Rehabilitation (SPR). Both groups include standard physiotherapy treatment including functional goal setting and progressive exercise with half of the treatment session delivered virtually in the PRVR arm. The RCT aims are as follows: To evaluate physical function outcomes between PRVR and SPR. To evaluate pain-related fear as a potential mechanism of change in physical function. To characterize feasibility of a future hybrid effectiveness-dissemination trial of PRVR in routine physiotherapy practice.
