Virtual Reality for Young People With Chronic Pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing virtual reality goggles can help young people (ages 7–21) manage chronic pain in their neck, shoulders, or arms. Researchers want to see if VR activities can reduce pain and improve daily life.
