Virtual Reality for Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a frequent chronic pain syndrome almost often affecting women and associating diffuse chronic musculoskeletal pain (for more than 3 months), fatigue and sleep disturbances. Other varied functional symptoms are associated with it, in particular cognitive disorders and a feeling of unrested awakening. Technological advances in virtual reality have led to recognition by the medical community as a way to improve pain and quality of life for patients. There is a growing body of evidence supporting the use of virtual reality as an adjunct therapy to reduce acute pain in patients during medical procedures in hospital settings. There may also be a role for virtual reality in patients with chronic pain.
