Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of different technologies, in particular Virtual Reality, inclusive of passive content, active content, cognitive load modulation, and positive encouragement coaching to increase the pain threshold as assessed by immersing a hand in ice water while utilizing a stationary bike.

Ice Bath then VR and Bike During Ice Bath (Ice Bath vs VR Bike)

Participants will immerse hand in ice bath and keep hand submerged as long as they can withstand the cold or until 4 minutes have elapsed, whichever comes first, while utilizing a VR headset. Participants will not be told of the specifics of the time limit, to avoid competitiveness and expectations and will be asked for pain scores every 30 seconds.

After a washout period of 5 minutes, patients will immerse hand in ice bath keep hand submerged as long as they can withstand the cold or until 4 minutes have elapsed, whichever comes first, while utilizing a VR headset.Participants will not be told of the specifics of the time limit, to avoid competitiveness and expectations and will be asked for pain scores every 30 seconds.

This occurred for both dominant and non-dominant hand. Randomization of dominant and non-dominant hands to the study conditions occurred prior to initiating the intervention.
