Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR) was first proposed as a distraction-based analgesic over 20 years ago (Hoffman et al., 2000). While powerful, distraction is only one possible use of VR in pain-related research and practice (e.g., (Harvie et al., 2015; Harvie et al., 2018; Harvie et al., 2020a; Harvie, 2021; Trost et al., 2021; Kelly et al., 2022)). Moreover, short-term effects of distraction are less relevant when pain is persistent. As such, new approaches are needed if VR is to have utility beyond acute pain.
