Overview

Randomized controlled trial assessed virtual reality's effect on pain and quality of life, indicating its potential benefits in rehabilitation.

Key Points

  • Virtual reality exercises significantly reduced pain in lumbar disc herniation patients, enhancing their daily activities.
  • Improvements were measured using the Visual Analog Scale and Oswestry Disability Index, with p-values indicating statistical significance.
  • Randomized controlled trial methodology involved 68 patients split into virtual reality and control groups to evaluate treatment outcomes.
  • The findings support virtual reality as a complementary approach in lumbar disc herniation rehabilitation, despite potential bias risks due to lack of blinding.
