What this trial studies
This observational study aims to evaluate the profiles of patients suffering from chronic musculoskeletal pain, focusing on the barriers that hinder their adherence to treatment. It will utilize telematics, including videoconferencing and surveys, to gather data on patients' pain characteristics, kinesiophobia, functionality, quality of life, and psychosocial factors. Additionally, the study will assess patients' perceptions of rehabilitation through virtual reality as a potential tool to enhance treatment adherence.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who have been experiencing chronic musculoskeletal pain for at least three months.
Not a fit: Patients with physical pathologies that impair their ability to understand study instructions will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment adherence for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain, enhancing their overall quality of life.
How similar studies have performed: While the use of virtual reality in rehabilitation is an emerging field, similar studies have shown promising results in enhancing patient engagement and adherence.
