Many medical procedures produce acute pain that in most cases is quite disturbing for the individual.
Medication is the treatment of choice for acute pain. However, given the involvement of psychological aspects
in the experience of pain, psychological techniques are being used as an effective adjunct to alleviate pain

future directions of VR pain control research. [-]
