Virtual reality hypnosis (VRH) is a promising tool to reduce pain. However, the benefits of VRH on pain perception and physiological expression require further investigation.In this study, we characterized effects heat threshold among adult healthy volunteers while monitoring several autonomic functions.Sixty were prospectively included receive nociceptive stimulations. The first set thermal stimuli consisted 20 stimulations at 60°C (duration 500 milliseconds) trigger contact evoked potentials (CHEPs). second ramps (1°C/second) determine participants. Electrocardiogram, skin conductance responses, respiration rate, as well analgesia nociception index also recorded throughout experiment.Data from 58 participants analyzed.

When used separately, virtual reality (VR) and mind-body therapies (MBTs) have the potential to reduce pain across various acute chronic conditions. While their combination is increasingly used, no study offers a consolidated presentation of VR MBTs. This aims propose an overview effectiveness combined with MBTs (i.e., meditation, mindfulness, relaxation, hypnosis) decrease experienced by healthy volunteers or patients. We conducted scoping review literature using PubMed, Science Direct Google Scholar included 43 studies. Findings studies support that feasible, well-tolerated, potentially useful pain. Their also had positive effect on anxiety, mood, relaxation. However, insufficient research this VR/MBTs lack multidimensional impede comprehensive understanding full potential. More randomized controlled are thus needed, usability evaluation protocols better understand effects patients wellbeing incorporate them into routine clinical practice.
