Therapeutic virtual reality for treating patients’ pain
At the CHU hospital in Rouen HypnoVR helmets are used to control pain during a variety of procedures. The idea is to bring the patient into a different state of awareness, in order to reduce the sensation of pain and anxiety.
Different helmets have been distributed to various services of Rouen Hospital to be used, if the patient agrees, in fields as diverse as painful treatment in dermatology, the insertion of implantable ports in anaesthesia, bronchial fibroscopies in respiratory medicine, in palliative care…
We wanted compact, easily transportable devices that are easy for the services to use. The idea was not to complicate the medical procedure, but on the contrary to make it easier.

This does not replace analgesic treatment. It is a plus, especially in the control of pain, both for the patient and for the medical professional.
