variability and clinical significance of anxiety reduction outcomes after VRET. Searches of ...

There is now a substantial literature investigating virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) as
a viable treatment option for anxiety disorders. In this meta-analysis we provide effect size
estimates for virtual reality treatment in comparison to in vivo exposure and control ...

The efficacy of virtual reality (VR) exposure therapy was examined for the fear of flying.
Virtual reality exposure involved six sessions of graded exposure to flying in a virtual
airplane. The specific contribution of anxiety management techniques (AMT) and the VR ...

... Seven of the 10 students who completed the virtual reality graded exposure treatment exposed
themselves to ... These exposures appeared to be meaningful, including riding 72 floors in a glass
elevator and intentionally parking on the top floor of a parking deck close to ...

Done properly by experienced therapists, re-exposure to memories of traumatic events via
imaginal exposure therapy can lead to a reduction of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
symptoms. Exposure helps the patient process and habituate to memories and strong ...

Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) is an altered form of behavioral therapy and may be
a possible alternative to standard in vivo exposure. Virtual reality integrates real-time
computer graphics, body tracking devices, visual displays, and other sensory input ...

Abstract Virtual reality (VR) integrates real-time computer graphics, body tracking devices,
visual displays, and other sensory input devices to immerse a participant in a computer-
generated virtual environment that changes in a natural way with head and body motion. ...

Abstract Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been estimated to affect up to 18% of
returning Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) veterans. Soldiers need to maintain constant
