Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy

What is Virtual Reality Therapy?

Virtual reality therapy (VRT)/ VR Neurofeedback also known as virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET), simulation for therapy (SFT), virtual reality immersion therapy (VRIT) and computerized CBT (CCBT). VTT is a method of psychotherapy that uses virtual reality technology to treat patients with different psychological disorders and phobias.

VRVirtual reality therapy (VRT) uses specially programmed computers, visual immersion devices and artificially created environments to give the patient a simulated experience that can be used to diagnose and treat psychological conditions that causes difficulties for patients.

These include many environmental phobias with reaction to the perceived hazards such as heights, speaking in public, flying and closed spaces that are usually triggered by visual and auditory stimuli. In VR-based therapies, the virtual world is a means of providing artificial, controlled stimuli in the context of treatment with a therapist able to monitor the patient’s reaction.

Right now, VR is largely used for stress management and exposure therapy, gradually exposing people to the situation that triggers their anxiety or PTSD. Exposure Therapy is one of the best treatments for both PTSD and anxiety disorders.

Over a decade of research and clinical studies have shown that immersive virtual reality can significantly also reduce pain, relieve stress and build resilience.

VR Health Clinic has been a part of these pioneering research teams that have established the field of VR pain control and is one of the first to be using the VR pain relief application.

Virtual reality exposure therapy also helps patients with ADHD, depression and insomnia. Along with this, clinicians frequently use cognitive behavioral therapy to teach patients techniques for dealing with those situations.
