Chronic pain treatment through virtual reality

2017

Chronic pain is a notable issue of public healthcare, causing enormous direct and indirect costs, and a reduction of the quality of life in the affected patients. In this study, we have used Virtual Reality (VR) as a method to reduce stress, anxiety and pain in patients affected by chronic pain. We examined two cohorts of patients: an experimental group and a control group. The patients in the experimental group were administered eight VR sessions, each of those lasted thirty minutes, while the control group had a standard therapy. The results are encouraging: they demonstrate the efficacy of VR treatment and the safety of the method.

2015

Introduzione: Nonostante la sempre più diffusa automazione dei processi produttivi sono ancora numerose le attività lavorative che richiedono una movimentazione manuale dei carichi che comportano rischi di patologie da sovraccarico biomeccanico, in particolare dorso-lombari. È emerso da alcune stime epidemiologiche,che tali patologie rappresentano le più importanti cause di inabilità e assenza dal lavoro per malattia nei Paesi industrializzati. Il pericolo sussiste in modo preponderante quando i lavori di trasporto vengono improvvisati ed eseguiti senza adeguata valutazione preliminare.La sensibilizzazione è quindi una condizione indispensabile per individuare nella prassi lavorativa quotid…

Differenti studi hanno riscontrato nei pazienti con diagnosi di disturbo psicotico una diffusa compromissione delle funzioni esecutive, in particolare della Working Memory, e una tendenza a prendere decisioni rapidamente dovuta ad errori nel processamento di raccolta delle informazioni presenti nel contesto (Jumping To Conclusion, JTC). Obiettivo del presente studio é quello indagare la presenza di una possibile correlazione tra Working Memory e Jumping To Conclusions in un campione di pazienti al primo episodio psicotico. Per il presente studio sono stati valutati 41 pazienti all’esordio psicotico (58,5% M), di età media 29,63 (DS=10,285) e 89 controlli sani (47,2% M), di età media 33,31 (…
