Event Abstract Back to Event Development and application of technologically advanced methods, based on virtual reality, for attention-diversion, as adjunct analgesic techniques against chronic pain Jose Gutièrrez-Maldonado1*, M. V. Rangel-Gòmez1, I. Alsina-Jurnet1 and M. Rus-Calafell1 1 University of Barcelona, Spain This project aims to develop technologically advanced methods of intervention in chronic pain based on virtual reality. The immersion in virtual environments offers a major opportunity for improving the effectiveness of pain treatments by the use of attention-diversion. The methodology used to develop these interventions applies advanced techniques of interactive three-dimensional environment design, the validity of which are tested in experimental studies, followed by clinical studies in patients with chronic pain. The results include virtual reality-based products that can be used as adjunct techniques to treat disorders characterized by chronic pain.
