Subjective reports

PARTICIPANT REPORT
1 Stated VR offered the “best” pain relief compared to all other treatments. Relief sustained at 6 months-post VR therapy.
2 Enjoyed VR but found limb parathesias worsened transiently, without significant improvements overall at conclusion of VR sessions. However, significant pain reduction at follow-up.
3 Enjoyed VR but noted worsening symptoms. Confounding variables reported by participant included concurrent analgesic medication decrease and increased personal stress.
4 Reported significant pain reduction and functional improvement following the sessions and recommended VR therapy to others with CRPS.
5 Noted increased fatigue with VR sessions, no effect on pain symptoms or daily function reported at conclusion of sessions.
6 Reported her “nervous system” became “more aroused rather than calmer” with VR, withdrew before completing all sessions.
7 Stated initial skepticism of VR therapy, but upon conclusion of sessions noted significant subjective pain relief and increased functional use of her affected limbs, sustained on follow-up.
8 Reported limitations in kitchen-related activities of daily living and thus enthusiasm to participate in the study VR kitchen environment. Only completed one session due to unrelated injury at home.
