VR headsets tested to calm fear of seizures
NCT ID NCT06028945
Summary
This study tested whether using virtual reality (VR) exposure therapy could help reduce anxiety specifically related to having seizures in people with epilepsy. Fourteen adults who were already in the hospital for epilepsy monitoring were randomly assigned to either try the VR therapy or be in a control group. Researchers measured their anxiety, quality of life, and motion sickness before, immediately after, and one month following the short VR sessions to see if the treatment helped.
