Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles is doing pioneering work in using virtual reality to treat pain and anxiety. They've treated over 3,000 patients with virtual reality, which has a quieting effect on both the sensory cortex and on the brain's emotional centers, reducing physical pain and emotional pain.The VR headsets Cedars-Sinai uses are manufactured by Pico and Oculus.
An excellent book about virtual reality therapy is VRx by Brennan Spiegel, MD, the Director of Health Services Research for Cedars-Sinai.
