Summary

Lack of adherence is one of the main problems of chronic musculoskeletal pain treatment. To improve adherence it is essential to take into account the characteristics of the patients and their thoughts and beliefs about pain.

Detailed description

* Background: Lack of adherence is one of the main problems of chronic musculoskeletal pain treatment. To improve adherence it is essential to take into account the characteristics of the patients and their thoughts and beliefs about pain. Virtual reality can present some advantages in the face of these problems too. * Objectives: Evaluate the profile of chronic musculoskeletal pain patients, the barriers associated with lack of adherence to treatment, and the interest of virtual reality in rehabilitation. * Methodology: Observational study. The profile of chronic musculoskeletal pain patients will be described. Patients will be recruited using the snowball method. The evaluation will be carried out via telematics through the use of videoconference and surveys. We will evaluate chronic pain and characteristics, kinesiophobia, functionality, quality of life, psychosocial aspects and other related outcomes.
