Integrating Extended Reality Into Primary Care Chronic Pain Programs via the REDOCVR Intervention: Real-World Implementation Feasibility and Usability Study

This study suggests that an XR-enhanced psychoeducational program can be incorporated into group-based chronic pain care within the public primary health care system. Exploratory improvements in emotional well-being, anxiety, depression, and reduced use of high-risk medications during supervised tapering indicate potential benefits, although causal inferences cannot be drawn given the feasibility design. These findings provide practical insights to inform refinement and progression to larger controlled studies evaluating scalability and long-term effects in routine primary care.
