  • Virtual reality training for management of chronic neck pain [Elektronski vir] : a systematic review with meta-analysis
    Opara, Manca Zupančič ; Kozinc, Žiga
    Purpose: We conducted a systematic review with meta-analysis to examine the short- and long-term effects of virtual reality training (VRT) on pain, range of motion (RoM), kinesiophobia and perceived ... function in patients with chronic neck pain (CNP). Methods: We searched the PubMed, Scopus, and PEDro databases for studies assessing effect of VRT against conventional therapy in CNP patients. Separate analyzes were performed for short-term (imme-diately after the intervention) and long-term (at follow-up) outcomes. Risk of bias was assessed with PEDro scale and the quality of evidence was assessed according to GRADE guidelines. Results: We found 11 studies, 8 of which were eligible for meta-analysis. Most studies had good meth-odological quality (6–8 points on the PEDro scale). The analysis showed significant differences in favour of VRT for neck disability index (long-term), kinesiophobia (long-term), and neck flexion RoM (short-term). No significant differences were found for pain intensity in the short- and long-term assessments. Heterogeneity between effect sizes was high in most analyzes, and the quality of evi-dence was low. Conclusion: Low quality evidence suggests that VRT may contribute to long-term improvements in perceived function and kinesiophobia in CNP patients compared with conventional training programs. However, VRT and conventional training programs have similar effects on overall neck RoM and pain intensity.
