Randomized-controlled Trial of Virtual Reality for Chronic Low Back Pain to Improve Patient-reported Outcomes and Physical Activity

This study will test the efficacy of an evidence-based virtual reality (VR) therapy program as a non-pharmacological supplement for the management of chronic lower back pain. Study participants will be randomized to receive one of three VR programs: Skills-Based VR, Distraction VR, or Sham VR. In addition to a VR headset, all participants will receive a Fitbit Charge 4 watch. Study devices will be delivered to the participant's home with instructions for use via FedEx; participants will receive remote technical support. They will be followed for 90 days and complete Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) questionnaires to assess functional status, pain levels, and use of pain medications (including opioids). Participants will also be asked to provide consent/authorization to access medical records from their treating facility.
