Cells are in charge of the basic structure of the human body. However, due to genetic alterations, the usual function of cells is disturbed, and cells begin to expand uncontrolled. This cell can grow into a mass known as a tumour. Some tumors may be malignant or benign, but not always. A cancerous growth is dangerous because it spreads and grows to any portion of the body. In comparison, a benign tumor grows but does not spread. Cancer can begin in practically any part of the human body.
Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation are the most often used cancer treatments. Other treatments include targeted therapy, immunotherapy, laser therapy, hormone therapy. A patient needs Cancer rehabilitation after going through such a painful treatment.
Cancer rehabilitation is provided by skilled rehabilitation experts who use virtual reality (VR) while cancer treatment and chemotherapy occur.
Rehabilitation with VR
Chemotherapy is a painful procedure in which harsh chemicals are combined with medicine to eliminate fast-growing cells in the patient's body. Pain from chemotherapy is frequently characterised as a searing, numbing, tingling, or shooting sensation. It is most typically seen in the hands and feet. This sort of pain is known as neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is caused by nerve damage induced by chemotherapy drugs or, in some cases, by cancer itself.
Going through a cancer treatment chemotherapy process is not easy. It entails physical, psychological, and cognitive issues. Such an issue can make it challenging to carry out daily tasks successfully. Cancer rehabilitation assists people in dealing with such a situation and boosting their confidence. This rehab can occur both during and following cancer treatment. The purpose of such repair is to make the patient independent and reduce the adverse effects of cancer treatment. Cancer Rehabilitation also aids in the improvement of a cancer patient's quality of life.
Virtual reality may be a helpful technique for treating discomfort while having chemotherapy also post-surgery rehab.

How is the VR Cancer Rehabilitation suite Helpful?
VR, or virtual reality, is a computer-based technology that allows users to immerse themselves in and interact with a multimodal virtual environment. As a result, patient will be able to receive feedback on their activities and workouts in real-time. The use of virtual reality in therapy can improve the ease, acceptability, and efficacy of anxiety treatment. Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) allows therapists to provide patients with personalised, gradual, controlled, immersive exposure that is typically more patient-acceptable than imaginal exposure. This will assist the patient in dealing with anxiety, distress, and other emotional issues both during and after cancer treatment. Cognihab designed cancer rehabilitation program and modules are very much helpful for cancer patients. Our cancer rehabilitation suite is suitable for cancer rehabilitation center as well as practice at home.
