University of Exeter researchers have released a study¹ delving into the effects of VR pain reduction therapy on people suffering from chronic pain. Their work sheds light on how virtual nature-based social prescribing can deliver effects similar to painkillers. Here’s what you need to know.

Ang Pangmatagalang Sakit ay Isang Malubhang Alalahanin

Ang pangmatagalang sakit ay maaaring ilarawan bilang sakit na nagpapatuloy ng higit sa 3 buwan o higit pa. Maaaring mangyari ang pangmatagalang sakit dahil sa maraming dahilan, kabilang ang genetika, kundisyon sa pamumuhay, at mga naunang pinsala. Ilan sa mga kawili-wiling katotohanan tungkol sa sakit na ito ay mas labis itong nakakaapekto sa mga kababaihan, matatanda, at sa mga nakatira sa mababang-kita na lugar na may limitadong access sa pangangalagang pangkalusugan. Sa kasamaang palad, ito ay katotohanan para sa humigit-kumulang 24.3% ng mga adulto sa US lamang, ayon sa mga kamakailang ulat.
Chronic pain can make it difficult for a person to conduct daily activities, find suitable employment, or even enjoy a peaceful moment alone.  Additionally, those suffering from chronic pain have a limited number of solutions to help them. Their options include taking medications like pain killers, undergoing physical or psychological therapy, and using natural remedies.

Paano Nakakatulong ang Pagkakalantad sa Kalikasan sa Pangmatagalang Sakit

One treatment for chronic pain and stress reduction that has been used for centuries is nature immersion. Ancient cultures recognized the healing effects experienced when one is surrounded by nature. This practice has been brought back to the forefront of scientific research as engineers seek to understand why it has been so effective.
