Patients with chronic pain
symptoms (ICD10), in the 18 to
90 age range and of noted minimum
average intelligence were
enrolled in the study
(Supplemental Information 1:
WHO ICD10 International Classification
of Diseases, N.D.). Exclusion
criteria were complex
psychiatric problems, visual disorders
and patients with impaired
reality perception, delusion and/
or hallucinations. Training sessions
were recorded and processed
in the Unity database, after
which the data was analyzed
in Unity and Excel.
The total number of individual
training session games played by
patients with chronic pain was
4562. A decrease in pain was noted
in 77% of the training sessions.
The average decrease in
pain score was 8%, corrected for
the continuity factor. 180 patients
were asked to play the complete
training program in chronological
order. 104 patients indicated a
starting VAS pain score of > 4.
The average absolute decrease
was 2. Players with a higher pain
score noted a greater pain decrease
here. User-friendliness of
Reducept scored 8 out of 10
(Drew, Falcone, & Baccus,
2018).
Future research directions In a
multicentre RCT together with
the Radboud University Medical
Centre, Rijnstate Hospital, Canisius
Wilhelmina Hospital and the
Leeuwarden Medical Centre, research
is being done about the
implementation of Reducept. In
September 2019, research is being
done at Rijnstate Rehabilitation
into the use of Reducept in
60 patients with lower back pain.
As from September 2019, Reducept
is available as E-Health
training for use in practice settings
or for home use. Reducept
comes complete with its own data
analysis tool to help both clinicians
and researchers gain insight
into the results that patients are
achieving during Reducept training,
both in practice settings and
at home.
