About This Chronic Pain Study in The Bronx

This pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a VR-based chronic pain management intervention with a virtual AI coach for patients with Opioid misuse and opioid use disorder (OM/OUD). The intervention is a single-day 45-minute VR intervention which is subdivided into three smaller sessions: Session 1: A 15-minute AI check-in to ask questions about biopsychosocial health, Session 2: A 20-minute Pain Coping Skills Training (PCST) session offering psychoeducation on managing chronic pain Session 3: A 10-minute stress reduction exercise. The VR sessions will be conducted using hardware (VR Headset Device - Meta Quest 3) and software developed by AugMend Health Company. The study will be conducted in a clinical setting at the Montefiore Multidisciplinary Pain Medicine Program (MMPP), a Pain Medicine outpatient specialty practice within a major urban medical center. MMPP providers see thousands of patients every month, some of which have concurrent opioid misuse or OM/OUD.
