How VR Is Transforming Pain Management Without Drugs

Episode 30 of The Virtual Reality Podcast explores how VR therapy is offering a drug-free approach to chronic and acute pain management. Lucas and Luna discuss the science behind VR-based distraction and neuroplasticity, focusing on the case of AppliedVR, whose EaseVRx system received FDA authorization in 2021. They break down the clinical data: a 42 percent reduction in chronic lower back pain and a 33 percent drop in medication requests among hospital patients. The hosts also look at how major health systems like Cedars-Sinai are integrating VR into their pain protocols, and what this means for the opioid crisis. A specific, evidence-based look at a technology that's moving from novelty to medical tool. #VirtualReality #VRPainManagement #AppliedVR #EaseVRx #ChronicPain #OpioidCrisis #FDAAuthorization #CedarsSinai #Neuroplasticity #DigitalTherapeutics #HealthcareInnovation #VRTherapy #PainRelief #Technology #BusinessPodcast #Fexingo #FexingoBusiness #ImmersiveTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
