Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This meta-analysis of 26 randomized controlled trials evaluates the efficacy of virtual reality exposure therapy for individuals with clinically diagnosed anxiety-related disorders and PTSD. The authors report significant reductions in phobia, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms, alongside increased approach behavior, based on pooled data from 1,649 participants. Moderator analyses suggest that shorter intervention durations may yield larger effects for anxiety and phobia outcomes.
