Research Abstract

This study aims at understanding the mechanism of a therapy system with virtual reality technology for patients who have chronic pain. The hypothesis of the mechanism is that the patients who have treatment effect feel sense of agency (SA) when they use the therapy system. This study investigates the existence of SA in using the therapy system by means of fMRI and a questionnaire. As the result, the existence of SA in using the therapy system was confirmed by the results of fMRI measurements and the questionnaire.
