Here is an interesting article about how simple games and apps are being used to help treat people and assist those who are treating them. It’s definitely a good read, my favorites being the musician who after an accident was shutting out the world, came back because of an ocarina app and the “pain distraction” story, which I believe we posted something about that some time ago.
Anyways, while I can’t say anything about how effective this really is, but video games have helped me through some difficult times in recent years so I think there is validity to that pain distraction thing. Heck, I’ve seen some people get so into a game that you could probably saw off their leg before they would notice.
