Outcome measures
Primary outcome
1) the distraction technique is significantly associated with the VAS-pain score
2) the distraction technique is significantly associated with the tolerance time
Secondary outcome
3) the executive functions and catastrophizing thoughts have a moderating role in the expected relation of the distraction technique and VAS pain score
4) the VAS presence score predicts the VAS pain score
5) the VAS presence score predicts the tolerance time
6) the executive functions predict the VAS presence score
7) the distraction technique predicts the VAS presence score
Background summary
Virtual Reality as distraction technique is promising in reducing the pain experience. The extent to which VR is effective in reducing pain depends on the extent to which someone is present in the virtual world. This study investigates if the quality of different executive functions (inhibition, divided attention and working memory) and the degree of catastrophizing thoughts influences the presence in the virtual world and herewith the effect on pain.
Study objective
Virtual Reality (VR) as distraction technique is promising as pain relief. The extent to which VR is effective in relieving pain depends on the extent of presence in the virtual world. This study investigates if the quality of different executive functions and the presence of catastrophizing thoughts influences the presence in the virtual world and herewith the effect of VR on pain.
