Brief Summary

This study is looking at whether virtual reality combined with pain coping skills training helps reduce pain in people who suffer from OA of the knee. Eligible participants will be asked to come into the study offices for one visit where they will fill out a couple of questionnaires, do some low impact performance tasks and be taught pain coping skills while looking into a 3D virtual reality viewer.

Conditions

Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Feasibility of Virtual Reality in Pain Coping

  The primary objective of this study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a new virtual reality (VR) protocol that uses an iPod Touch/iPhone (or similar smartphone) to deliver virtual reality (VR). Feasibility will be assessed by examining overall accrual, attrition, and adherence to the study protocol. Ratings on a standardized measure of treatment credibility will be examined as well as a Treatment Attitude Questionnaire to assess acceptability.

Pain Coping Training with 3D viewer

EXPERIMENTAL

All participants will receive a 1 and a half hour pain coping training while using the virtual reality viewer. We are testing the feasability of using the 3D viewer in collaboration with Pain Coping training to see if people who suffer from Osteoarthritis of the knee experience some pain relief.

Procedure: Virtual Reality Training Session; Device: 3D viewer with iPod Touch/iPhone (or similar smartphone)

Interventions

Virtual Reality Training Session PROCEDURE

The participant will meet with an interventionist for an hour and a half long session. During this session OA knee pain will be assessed (using self report questionnaires) prior to and post a 10 minute session using the 3D viewer and having a brief pain coping skills training.
