Abstract: Pain control is a difficult task to accomplish, especially without using potentially addictive drugs like opioids. Failure in
providing a comprehensive pain control plan by using opioids can lead to lowering the quality of life and addiction that will
further worsen the patient condition. In the last years, immersion in Virtual Reality proved its values as a technique for clinical
pain management to accompany and lower the regular opioid dosage. The current paper describes this technique, as well as the
novelties introduced by our team in a gamified VR setting for pain management.
