Abstract
Stress and anxiety affect millions of people worldwide and manifest in some of the most common mental health issues. While traditional therapies are effective, they are also costly and not suitable for everyone. Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) is an innovative way to treat anxiety disorders and provide a three-dimensional, immersive experience for clients to confront their fears. In this meta-analysis of research using VRET as an intervention for treating stress and anxiety related disorders, the authors sought to understand the degree to which various study characteristics accounted for the variation in intervention effects. Results showed those receiving VRET treatment report similar treatment effects as those who receive alternative treatments such as CBT, exposure therapy or other similar approaches.
