System and method for pain reduction

A system for treating pain in a patient, comprising:

• a computer;
• a rehabilitation table that can be tilted and lifted/lowered under control of the computer;
• a display that can display to the patient a plurality of therapeutic videogames under control of the computer, the therapeutic videogames having a physical and cognitive difficulty level associated with movements and a scene shown in the therapeutic videogame;
• one or more bio-sensors, including a neural headset, configured to be worn by the patient and connected to the computer to provide one or more inputs to the computer;
• wherein the computer analyzes the one or more inputs to the computer from the one or more bio-sensors and controls the difficulty level associated with the physical movements and cognitive problems shown in the therapeutic videogame in accordance with the inputs and a baseline parameter of an electroencephalography (EEG) signal obtained before treatment;
• a smell generator connected to the computer wherein the computer can selectively and interactively cause one of a plurality of smells to be generated near the patient, in response to events occurring in the therapeutic videogame;
• wherein the plurality of smells can excite or relax the patient, as needed as determined by input from the neural headset;
• a 3D sound system connected to the computer wherein the computer can selectively cause one of a plurality of directional sounds to be generated near the patient in response to the events happening in the therapeutic videogame;
• wherein the computer alters the intensity of sound, as well as the type of sound and pitch in response to input from the neural headset;
• and
• a temperature control system connected to the computer wherein the computer can selectively cause the patient to sense varying temperatures, so as to immerse the patient into a simulation and to reduce the patient's level of stress and pain based on input from the neural headset.
