Abstract | Purpose: In virtual reality, avatar embodiment can spur perceptions and behaviours related the avatars' characteristics. We tested whether embodying superhero-like avatars can change self-perceptions in people with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Design: A non-blinded pilot randomized controlled trial. Methods: Participants were randomly allocated to embody a superhero (VR-SH, Results: The VR-SH group reported gains in body image during ( Conclusion: A VR-SH session produced temporary positive effects on body image. Future research may consider whether larger and sustained effects can be obtained with multisession exposures or explore combined interventions. Implications for rehabilitationPhysical confidence and bodily trust can be significantly enhanced in people with chronic back pain using virtual reality.These positive body image effects may have implications for rehabilitation, such as in enhancing confidence with movementWhether a multisession intervention might produce more robust effects and changes in pain is yet to be determined. |
