Dataset: Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy

Virtual Reality exposure therapy (VRET) is emerging as a promising approach in the assessment and treatment of acrophobia, the irrational fear of heights. Traditional methods often involve real-world height exposure, which can be challenging to administer and may pose safety concerns. VR technology provides a controlled and safe environment to simulate height-related scenarios, facilitating desensitization and symptom reduction. This approach leverages psychological mechanisms such as presence and emotional engagement to create a convincing therapeutic experience. The study consisted of 60 samples. The research aimed to assess the impact of VRET on acrophobia, focusing on the reducing levels of acrophobia severity and anxiety after the intervention. Further research is needed to establish the long-term efficacy of VR exposure therapy and its place within a comprehensive treatment plan for acrophobia, but it holds significant promise in revolutionizing the way we approach this prevalent anxiety disorder.

虚拟现实暴露疗法（Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy, VRET）正逐渐成为恐高症（acrophobia，即对高度的非理性恐惧）评估与治疗领域极具前景的手段。传统治疗方法通常需开展真实场景下的高度暴露训练，但此类操作实施难度较大，且可能引发安全顾虑。虚拟现实技术可搭建可控且安全的模拟环境，复刻与高度相关的各类场景，助力患者完成脱敏治疗并减轻相关症状。该疗法依托临场感与情感投入等心理学机制，打造极具真实感的治疗体验。本研究共纳入60个研究样本，旨在评估虚拟现实暴露疗法对恐高症的干预效果，重点考察干预后恐高症严重程度与焦虑水平的降低情况。尽管目前仍需开展更多研究，以明确虚拟现实暴露疗法的长期疗效及其在恐高症综合治疗方案中的定位，但该疗法在革新这一常见焦虑障碍的诊疗路径方面，展现出显著的应用前景。
