Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	VRE intervention	Virtual reality exposure therapy is a new treatment technology developed in recent years. This technology combines virtual reality technology with traditional exposure therapy, and uses virtual reality technology to present the exposure scenes required for exposure therapy. Therefore, it can break through the limitations of time and space and more intuitively display some things that are difficult to simulate in the treatment room. Scenes do not require the client to undergo treatment through imaginary exposure, thereby increasing the immersion and reality of the treatment. Over the past two decades, numerous studies have explored and proven the effectiveness of virtual exposure therapy.
