Abstract

We describe virtual reality (VR) used as an effective intervention to treat severe chronic neuropathic pain in an otherwise healthy adolescent boy. The patient presented with severe pain and allodynia in the right foot after calcaneus extension surgery. Multiple medical and psychological interventions were unsuccessful over 3 years, with the pain leading the patient to drop out of school. VR gaming intervention provided the patient with significant pain relief and substantial improvement in functionality. This case report details the VR intervention and its effect on the patient's severe, medically refractory pain syndrome.

期刊介绍： A & A Case Reports, our new online journal publishing Case Reports, related Editorial Commentary, and Correspondence. Anesthesia & Analgesia 1 and Anesthesiology 2 recently announced that they were suspending publication of Case Reports. One reason is that Case Reports typically reduce the Impact Factor of a journal because they are rarely cited. Regardless of the merits of Impact Factor as a metric of journal worth, journals and their editors necessarily consider Impact Factor in strategic planning. At the same time, Case Reports are appreciated by readers for describing “real life” management of difficult or unusual cases not often encountered by practitioners. In a recent issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia, Steven Shafer1 identified many Case Reports whose publication launched productive careers dedicated to solving the puzzle posed by an unusual observation in a single patient.
