Summary
This study tests a new way to help people with long-term shoulder pain who also feel anxious or depressed. It combines virtual reality (a calming, immersive environment) with a gentle electrical pulse on the ear that stimulates a nerve linked to mood and pain. The goal is to see if this approach is safe, practical, and can improve well-being while people wait for surgery.
