No doubts, this article is absolutely interesting and educating.
The VR technology is great. To a very large extents, it tell us so much about the human mind and how power it is.
I have heard many success stories of VR use in psychology and I doff my hat for such tremendious achievements. The theory and it's application is wow.
Science have times without number proven to be very helpful in medicine and sometimes I wonder how crude medicine would have been without science.
However, when we relate the VR technology to pain in medicine, I still have a few reservations especially when it comes to the treatment of pain*.
Manipulating the mind with VR, does it ease pain momentarily or it takes it away parmenently?
Thanks for your feedback @nicewoody69. I also am cautious about us not getting too overboard with all this talk of VR. I believe in regard to your question one may only find temporary ease of pain as the mind is distracted from it with another more stimulating variable.
