What is chronic pain?
Acute versus chronic pain, why they do not track tissue damage, and when to see a doctor.
Reclaiming function: a practical guide to modern chronic pain rehabilitation.
Twelve guides in three clusters. Start with why pain keeps going after tissue heals, move on to what rehabilitation and VR actually do, and finish with the questions a clinician, case manager or patient should ask before choosing a remote program. Each guide opens with a direct answer and cites its sources.
Understand persistent pain.
Why pain can continue after an injury has healed, what the nervous system is doing, and why the fear of moving matters as much as the pain itself.
Rehabilitation and technology.
What virtual reality and embodiment can do for a sensitized pain system, what a real at-home program includes, and how progress is measured beyond a pain score.
Clinical and workers' compensation decisions.
A checklist for judging a remote program, who is and is not a good candidate, how rehabilitation fits a workers' compensation claim, and what Karuna's program actually involves.
How to read it. Patients usually start with cluster one and finish with how Karuna works. Clinicians and case managers can go straight to cluster three: the evaluation checklist is written to be used on any remote program, including ours. Every guide is reviewed by the Karuna clinical team and lists its sources.
