Immersive multimedia experience for cancer patients with chronic pain is now recruiting patients for a clinical trial set to start in July, 2017.

Immersive multimedia experiences have been shown to benefit individuals from  a range of clinical settings such as in patients experiencing acute pain. These experiences may also help reduce chronic pain by changing the pain modulation system within the central nervous system and altering pain signal pathways. We are exploring if these technologies can help cancer survivors who are experiencing chronic pain.

We wish to recruit cancer patients to test the use of an immersive multimedia experience in their own homes. The equipment and training will be provided.

For eligibility criteria, and more information about this study, please contact Crystal Sun (Project Manager).
