Karuna Labs

Karuna Labs develops KarunaHOME, a neuroscience-based digital therapeutic platform combining proprietary virtual reality neurotechnology with personalized behavioral coaching for chronic pain management and acquired brain injury rehabilitation. The 12-week program addresses multiple pain conditions including low back pain, shoulder pain, upper and lower extremity pain, widespread pain, central pain, and neuropathic pain. The solution is non-pharmacological and non-surgical, employing evidence-based neuroscience principles such as predictive processing, neuroplasticity, active inference, and embodied cognition theory. The platform includes at-home virtual reality equipment paired with remote coaching sessions delivered by pain specialists. KarunaHOME is designed for convenient, flexible use in home settings and emphasizes engagement through gamified rehabilitation experiences. The company targets patients seeking alternatives to opioid-based therapies and surgical interventions. Clinical approach integrates biopsychosocial treatment frameworks with exposure therapy and fear-avoidance reduction strategies.
