  • 40% of patients experienced a reduction in pain and an additional 2.8 hours of continued pain relief following use of the Vx headset
  • Patients reported a 28.6% reduction in awareness of pain and a 115% increase in the duration of their nightly sleep
  • Patients reported a 70% reduction in anxiety related to pain, thereby leading to increased engagement in their specific behavioral activity goals
