Lack of adherence is one of the main problems of chronic musculoskeletal pain treatment. To improve adherence it is essential to take into account the characteristics of the patients and their thoughts and beliefs about pain. Virtual reality can present some advantages in the face of these problems too.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the profile of chronic musculoskeletal pain patients, the barriers associated with lack of adherence to treatment, and the interest of virtual reality in rehabilitation.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Pain Intensity — Baseline To assess pain intensity using the verbal numeric pain scale. Scores range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable). Higher scores indicate greater intensity.
Pain Intensity and chronic pain interference — Baseline To assess pain intensity and chronic pain interference using the graded chronic pain scale. Scores range from 0 (no pain/no interference) to 10 (worst pain imaginable/unable to carry on any activities). Higher scores indicate greater intensity or interference.
Pain Severity — Baseline To assess pain severity using the brief pain inventory. Scores range from 0 (no pain/does not interfere) to 10 (worst pain imaginable/completely interferes). Higher scores indicate greater severity.
Awareness, Consciousness, Vigilance and Observation of pain — Baseline To assess awareness, consciousness, vigilance and observation of pain using the pain vigilance and awareness questionnaire. Scores range from 0 (never) to 5 (always). The total questionnaire scores range between 0 and 80. Higher scores indicate greater awareness, consciousness, vigilance and observation of pain.
Chronic Pain Acceptance — Baseline To assess chronic pain acceptance using the chronic pain acceptance questionnaire. Scores range from 0 (never true) to 6 (it is always true). Higher scores indicate greater acceptance.
Neurophysiology of Pain — Baseline To assess neurophysiology of pain using the neurophysiology of pain questionnaire. Scores range from 0 to 13 (sum of all correct items).
