Summary
This small study tests if combining virtual reality (VR) with a gentle electrical pulse on the ear can help people with long-term shoulder pain feel less anxious and depressed. Ten adults awaiting shoulder surgery will try the treatment, which aims to calm the body's stress response. The main goal is to see if the approach is safe and practical, while also checking for any pain or mood improvements.
