Summary

This trial compares how playing active or passive VR games affects pain tolerance.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who speak English and have good hearing. It's not for those who are pregnant, have hearing loss, take certain heart or pain medications, suffer from chronic or acute pain conditions, severe motion sickness, nausea, or seizures.
What is being tested?
The study is testing how different types of virtual reality (VR) experiences using the Oculus Go headset affect a person's sensitivity to heat-related pain. Participants will try both passive viewing and active VR games to see which impacts their heat pain threshold more.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves VR games, side effects may include temporary discomfort like dizziness or nausea due to motion sickness. There might also be mild skin irritation from the thermal sensory analyzer used to measure heat pain threshold.
