Can playing a VR game make you tougher against pain?
NCT ID NCT05836649
Summary
This study aimed to understand how different types of virtual reality (VR) games affect pain sensitivity. Researchers at Stanford University tested 265 healthy adults to see if playing an active VR game versus watching a passive VR experience changed their tolerance to heat and pressure pain. The goal was to gather knowledge about VR's effects, not to treat any medical condition.
