Summary
The goal of this pilot randomized clinical trial is to test the efficacy of an intervention combining virtual reality and hypnosis on decreasing pain and improving quality of life in elderly patients with hand arthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the intervention allow for an improvement of patient reported outcomes related to pain and quality of life? * Does the intervention allow for an improvement of physiological variables related to pain? Researchers will compare intervention group to a passive control group (i.e., waiting list with treatment as usual). Participants in the intervention group will be provided a virtual reality headset allowing them to beneficiate from the virtual reality and hypnosis modules.
