Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR) offers a promising drug-free approach to relaxation for people with psychiatric issues. Studies show VR relaxation not only helps manage stress but also promotes positive emotions and decreases blood pressure. Compared to traditional relaxation techniques, VR requires less mental effort and delivers a more significant boost in positive feelings. The results of the current review indicate that VR with deep diaphragmatic breathing may be associated with a blood pressure-lowering effects for adult people with hypertension. Also VR technology can be used as a good facilitator of different practices for stress reduction and treatment of chronic pain (for example by meditation practices). The immersive and interactive nature of VR adds a positive effects for different modalities as it creates a semi-real environment and give the patient the sense of achievement.
