Project description:BACKGROUND:Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is characterized by an intense fear of negative judgement by others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is recommended for treatment, but a substantial part of individuals with SAD either do not seek treatment or drop-out. CBT with Virtual Reality (VR)-based exposure has several advantages compared to traditional exposure methods, mainly due to increased control of situational elements. The aim of the current study is to develop a CBT program containing VR-based exposure. The intervention is targeted to adult patients suffering from SAD and treatment effect will be assessed by changes in SAD symptoms. METHODS:This article describes the study protocol of a Randomized Controlled Trial with three arms: 1) CBT with VR exposure based on 360° videos 2) CBT with in vivo exposure and 3) VR relaxation therapy. There will be 30 participants in each arm with a crossover at the end of the treatment period during which the participants in the third group will be randomly re-allocated to one of the two former groups. The treatment program consists of 10 weekly individual sessions with a psychologist, and a six month follow-up consisting of a questionnaire. The primary outcome measure is reduction in SAD symptoms which will be assessed with the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS). DISCUSSION:There are currently no published studies on CBT with VR exposure based on 360° videos for SAD treatment. Furthermore, the current study will be the first Danish SAD treatment program that includes VR technology. TRIAL REGISTRATION:clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03973541) June 3rd 2019.

Project description:Colonoscopy is an exam which can be responsible for pain and discomfort for the patient.
Therefore colonoscopy is performed most of the time under general anaesthesia. Moreover, drug-induced sedation comes with adverse effects especially among fragile patients.
Besides, monitoring patients during and after sedation is both logistically demanding and costly.
Virtual reality offers immersive and three dimensional experiences that distract the attention and might improve patients comfort.
The aim of the study is to investigate the use of virtual reality during colonoscopy versus general anaesthesia.

Project description:Depression is a common mental disorder with a large treatment gap. Low-intensity, automated virtual reality (VR) interventions (not requiring a therapist) is a scalable and promising solution now that VR is an accessible and mature, consumer technology. Yet unlike with phobias, there have been few attempts at translating evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapeutic (CBT) techniques for depression into the VR modality. In this paper, we discuss how specific CBT techniques can be made into VR experiences, including psychoeducation, behavioral activation, cognitive restructuring, and social skills training. We also discuss how VR-unique experiences, such as alternative embodiment and virtual pet interactions, can be made therapeutic. Creating a pre-clinical and clinical evidence base for these types of novel interventions should be considered a research priority, and high-quality development on par with other consumer VR applications will be essential to the success of any consumer-targeted intervention. If this is achieved, low-intensity VR interventions for depression have great potential to make an impact on public mental health.

Project description:BackgroundVirtual reality (VR) is as effective a technique as traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and a promising tool for treating panic disorder symptoms because VR exposure can be safer and has better acceptability than in vivo exposure and is more immersive than exposure through imagination. CBT techniques can be delivered more effectively using VR as well. So far, VR has required high-quality devices, but the development of mobile VR technology has improved user availability. At the same time, a well-structured form of VR can be reproduced and used anywhere. This means that VR can be used to provide a self-guided form of treatment and address the high treatment costs of evidence-based therapy and the lack of professional therapists. This study aimed to investigate the potential of self-guided VR as an alternative to high-cost treatment.ObjectiveThe main goal of this study was to offer data about the efficacy of a mobile app-based self-led VR CBT in the treatment of panic disorder.MethodsA total of 54 subjects with panic disorder were enrolled in this study and randomly assigned to either the VR treatment group or waitlist group. The VR treatment was designed to be total 12 sessions for 4 weeks. The VR treatment consists of 4 steps in which patients are gradually exposed to phobic stimuli while learning to cope with panic symptoms in each stage. The effectiveness of treatment was assessed through the Panic Disorder Severity Scale, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, Body Sensations Questionnaire, Albany Panic and Phobia Questionnaire, Anxiety Sensitivity Index, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Korean Inventory of Social Avoidance and Distress Scale, Korean Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology, and Perceived Stress Scale. In addition, physiological changes using heart rate variability were evaluated.ResultsIn within-group analyses, the VR treatment group exhibited improvements in panic disorder symptoms, anxiety, and depression after 4 weeks, while the waitlist group did not show any significant improvement. Compared to the waitlist group, the VR treatment group showed significantly greater improvements in the Panic Disorder Severity Scale in both completer analysis and intention-to-treat analysis. Heart rate variability in the VR treatment group showed improvement in normalized high frequency from baseline to postassessment with no significant differences in any outcome measure between groups.ConclusionsThe self-guided, mobile app-based VR intervention was effective in the treatment of panic symptoms and restoring the autonomic nervous system demonstrating the validity of the use of VR for self-guided treatment. VR treatment can be a cost-effective therapeutic approach.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT04985019; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04985019.

Project description:The increase in the survival of cancer patients and the incidence of cancers leads to a rapid increase in the number of people living after a diagnosis of cancer.
Occupation during chemotherapy treatment time has been identified as an excellent way to support cancer patients. Studies show that distraction interventions increase tolerance to treatment, by decreasing the importance given to negative stimuli associated with chemotherapy and increasing pleasurable emotions.
In this context, virtual reality (VR) is a promising intervention for patients receiving chemotherapy. VR is considered a powerful painkiller, even more effective than other distractors, such as movies or video games for example.
Several studies have shown short-term beneficial effects of integrating VR in patients undergoing chemotherapy. This intervention would help patients better adhere to and tolerate treatment. Considering that positive emotions could be one of the underlying processes necessary for the effectiveness of VR, it would be possible to support the cancer patient towards better overall well-being thanks to these new technologies.
Investigators can therefore ask themselves the question of the impact that VR used during chemotherapy can have on the adaptation of patients to the disease and its treatments as well as on their psychological distress in the medium and long term.

Project description:A prospective controlled randomized interventional study comparing the effects of the preoperative exposure to a virtual reality software versus not exposure in 126 patients with colorectal cancer. Patients will be divided in two randomized groups, each of them of 63 patients. The hypothesis of the study is that gradual exposure to the hospital environment using a virtual reality software is effective to reduce preoperative anxiety.
The main variable is the level of anxiety in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery. It will be measured using State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Scale (STAI-S) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).

Project description:BACKGROUND:Evidence was found for the effectiveness of virtual reality-based cognitive behavioral therapy (VR-CBT) for treating paranoia in psychosis, but health-economic evaluations are lacking. OBJECTIVE:This study aimed to determine the short-term cost-effectiveness of VR-CBT. METHODS:The health-economic evaluation was embedded in a randomized controlled trial evaluating VR-CBT in 116 patients with a psychotic disorder suffering from paranoid ideation. The control group (n=58) received treatment as usual (TAU) for psychotic disorders in accordance with the clinical guidelines. The experimental group (n=58) received TAU complemented with add-on VR-CBT to reduce paranoid ideation and social avoidance. Data were collected at baseline and at 3 and 6 months postbaseline. Treatment response was defined as a pre-post improvement of symptoms of at least 20% in social participation measures. Change in quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) was estimated by using Sanderson et al's conversion factor to map a change in the standardized mean difference of Green's Paranoid Thoughts Scale score on a corresponding change in utility. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios were calculated using 5000 bootstraps of seemingly unrelated regression equations of costs and effects. The cost-effectiveness acceptability curves were graphed for the costs per treatment responder gained and per QALY gained. RESULTS:The average mean incremental costs for a treatment responder on social participation ranged between €8079 and €19,525, with 90.74%-99.74% showing improvement. The average incremental cost per QALY was €48,868 over the 6 months of follow-up, with 99.98% showing improved QALYs. Sensitivity analyses show costs to be lower when relevant baseline differences were included in the analysis. Average costs per treatment responder now ranged between €6800 and €16,597, while the average cost per QALY gained was €42,030. CONCLUSIONS:This study demonstrates that offering VR-CBT to patients with paranoid delusions is an economically viable approach toward improving patients' health in a cost-effective manner. Long-term effects need further research. TRIAL REGISTRATION:International Standard Randomised Controlled Trial Number (ISRCTN) 12929657; http://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN12929657.

Project description:In patients operated for colorectal cancer, pain, anxiety and depression are important factors in postoperative rehabilitation. The use of new technologies, as virtual reality immersion, could further improve their postoperative management. To date, no study has evaluated the potential benefits of using virtual reality before and after colorectal cancer surgery. The main objective is to determine if virtual reality can reduce postoperative anxiety in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery.
To answer this question, the investigators plan to execute a randomized controlled, single-center, open-label, superiority interventional trial. Patients will be randomized into 2 parallel arms: 1 interventional "virtual immersion" arm and 1 "control" arm.
Patients with colorectal cancer, regardless of oncological stage, or a colorectal lesion deemed endoscopically unresectable, with an indication for elective surgical management by laparotomy or laparoscopy will be included.
For patients in the interventional arm, virtual reality headset is put on the day before the operation and in the morning just before going down to the operating theatre. Colorectal cancer surgery then proceeds as usual. In the postoperative period, virtual reality sessions are offered every day and on request without any limit in number. Virtual reality immersion offers a visual and auditory experience during a soothing journey through visual worlds filmed in natural environments. This is a purely contemplative mode, lasting maximum 30 minutes.
For the control arm, patients are treated according to the usual practices of the department and do not have access to virtual reality.
The main purpose is to show a greater decrease in anxiety in the interventional group by measuring the absolute difference between the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scores before surgery and at discharge.
