Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of virtual reality experiences on acute pain and distress caused by fluoroscopic pain intervention in chronic pain patient.

Detailed description

The investigators perform lots of interventions for patients. But unfortunately, patients cannot help being exposed to the acute pain and fear during the interventions. "Virtual Reality(VR)" is a state-of-art advanced technology, which is now being extended to various medical fields such as pain management, dental treatment, body rehabilitation and cancer pain. There is no study that have conjugated the virtual reality experience for patients' acute pain and anxiety which occurs during the pain interventions. So the investigators like to evaluate the effects of virtual reality experience on acute pain and anxiety precipitated by the pain interventions.
