Management of chronic pelvic pain for individuals with endometriosis is complex and often requires the long-term use of prescription drugs (e.g., opioids), making drug-free alternatives for pain management highly sought after. A randomized controlled clinical trial conducted by the Franco European Multidisciplinary Endometriosis Institute (France) evaluated the efficacy and safety of using virtual reality (VR) in an immersive digital therapeutic (DTx) treatment for women with endometriosis suffering from moderate-to-severe pelvic pain. The study found that 20 minute VR sessions led to reduced medication intake, presenting a drug free approach to managing chronic pain at home and advancing the use of VR in pain management.
