20、Lily said.“One day I asked my dad,What am I good at?

33、y published in Pain Reports,a team from Imperial used VR video to reduce peoples sensitivity to ongoing pain and sharp shooting pain.According to the researchers,the findings add to the growing evidence for the potential of VR technology to help patients with long-term pain.Beyond the distracting ef
34、fect,they think VR may actually cause the bodys own inbuilt pain-fighting systems to start working.Dr Sam Hughes,the first author on the paper,said,“Our work suggests that VR may be getting involved in processes in the key parts of our inbuilt pain-fighting systems and are helpful in regulating the
35、spread of increased sensitivity to pain.”To test their theory,researchers applied a cream containing capsaicin (辣椒素)the chemical that makes your mouth bumto 15 healthy volunteers.The capsaicin makes the skin more sensitive to painful stimuli (刺激) like a very small electric shock.In the first trial,p
36、articipants were then asked to rate the pain caused by the capsaicin cream on a scale of 0-100 (from “no pain” to “worst pain possible”) while either watching a VR scene of Arctic exploration through a headset,or looking at a still image of an Arctic scene on a monitor.Under the same conditions,they
37、 were also asked to say when a stimulus applied directly to the skin area is considered as painful.The team found that ongoing pain was reduced following VR immersion,and that sensitivity to painful stimuli was also reduced.However,the same effect was not seen in people who looked at still images of
