Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to examine whether transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS) can enhance the effect of virtual reality exposure therapy(VRET) in acrophobia in college students with significant fear of heights. The main question it aims to answer are: • the enhancement of tDCS on the effect of VRET Participants will randomly allocated to tDCS active stimulated group and sham stimulated group and receive VRET.
The proposed study will apply a one-session exposure treatment combined with CBM training modifying interpretational processing biases versus a sham training in acrophobic individuals. The main aim is to advance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying exposure treatment.
The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) as a treatment for specific phobia (acrophobia). The study will randomly assign 42 participants with acrophobia to one of two conditions: a) the experimental condition (consisting of 3 sessions of virtual reality exposure) or b) a control condition. Both groups will receive short information session about general principles of exposure therapy before the start of the study. After the end of the study, the waitlist group will be invited to attend the short version (one or two-sessions) of the VRET. Both groups will receive a final follow-up questionnaires 2 months after the last session.
This study randomly assigned 114 participants with significant fear of heights to one of three conditions: a) a single session of virtual reality exposure; b) a single session of in vivo exposure; or c) a control condition. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of virtual reality exposure to the efficacy of in vivo exposure or no exposure for participants with significant fear of heights.
Objective: To take the existing VR technology to the next level, the investigators developed a novel Intelligent Virtual Reality Therapy System (IVRTS). The objective of this project had three aspects: Namely, development of the novel IVRTS technology involving the development of a hardware device, development of Artificially Intelligent Psychotherapeutic software-interface and testing it's clinical efficacy. Methods: It used a two-phased methodology; Development of the novel technology and testing its Clinical Efficacy. After development of Novel IVRTS. A 7-week intervention was designed for each subject. The sample of 500 patients, meeting the criteria of Acrophobia and Anxiety, underwent the interventions at The GTB hospital (The University of Delhi), for a total 3500 sessions, ranging 5250 hours for over 2 years. The subjects were randomly divided into 4 groups: IVRTS Group, Mindfulness group, CBT group and Control Group. The ethics committee and clinical trial registration number is 33011. Development of this technology would be a land-mark innovation.
The aim of this study is to assess feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of two VRET (Virtual Reality Exposition Therapy)session associated with either active anodal tDCS or sham tDCS on the ventromedial prefrontal cortex to decrease anxiety related to visual height intolerance
