- Non-interactive virtual reality to manage pain Desirée Loreto-Quijada José Gutiérrez-Maldonado Olga Gutiérrez-Martínez Rubén Nieto-Luna Psicología pain coping cold pressor Virtual reality catastrophizing The purpose of the present study is to investigate the impact of a noninteractive virtual reality (VR) intervention on pain related measures and on cognitive variables during a cold-pressor experience. Forty-six healthy participants underwent two consecutive cold-pressor trials, one staring to a virtual figure and one without VR, in counterbalanced order. During the VR intervention, participants were asked to passively imagine the correspondence between a stereoscopic VR figure and the experienced pain. Results showed no significant differences between the VR and no-VR condition for either pain or cognitive measures. The usefulness of a non-interactive VR intervention versus active VR strategies to cope with pain is discussed. 2011 artículo científico 0066-5126 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=97022648006 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=970 Anuario de Psicología application/pdf Universitat de Barcelona Anuario de Psicología (España) Num.1-3 Vol.41
