Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary aim of this study is to assess the overall feasibility of virtual reality for the treatment of noncardiac chest pain and identify problems, issues, or challenges that may impact the performance of a future clinical trial. As such, the study will focus on willingness to participate, patient adherence, patient retention, and burdensomeness of the intervention and survey instruments. As a lesser objective, we will assess the effectiveness of virtual reality in patients with noncardiac chest pain at improving pain severity, symptom hypervigilance, anxiety, quality of life, and resilience.
