Standard CBT versus integrative and multimodal CBT assisted by virtual-reality for generalized anxiety disorder
Overview
This study compares the efficacy of standard Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) against an integrative, multimodal CBT intervention augmented with Virtual Reality (VR) for treating Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The research involved 66 participants randomized into two groups receiving ten weekly sessions of therapy. Results indicated that while both interventions significantly reduced anxiety and worry symptoms, the standard CBT protocol demonstrated higher effect sizes for these outcomes compared to the VR-augmented version.
