Virtual Reality Therapy: A New Hope for Chronic Pain and Women’s Health
What if your doctor prescribed a virtual reality headset instead of pain medication? In this episode of Beyond the Paper Gown, Mitzi Krockover, MD speaks with Mary Catherine George, PhD, Health Psychologist and Clinical Research Program Director in the Neurology Department at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and founder of Comfort Wave VR. Drawing from her unique path—from opera singer to HIV researcher to entrepreneur—Dr. George shares how she’s developing VR technology to help women manage post-mastectomy pain without opioids. We explore why women often underreport pain, how behavioral medicine can make a difference, and what it takes to bring innovative pain management tools from the lab to patients.
