Summary

This study tested whether adding immersive virtual reality (IVR) to standard physiotherapy helps people with long-term shoulder pain more than standard care alone. Researchers enrolled 44 adults aged 18 to 70 with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain lasting at least six months. They measured pain, shoulder function, strength, mobility, and blood biomarkers to see if IVR provides extra benefits.
