Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) One particularly successful use of VR in medicine is VR exposure therapy. VR exposure therapy uses VR to alleviate or reduce any anxiety or discomfort the patient is experiencing, eliminating the maladaptive behavior. Using VR, examinees are exposed to fear-inducing high altitudes. STAI is used to verify the effectiveness of this experiment through conditional examination. No trait anxiety, post-experiment changes in heart rate, or changes in blood pressure were observed. However, there were significant changes in the overall state anxiety. This suggests the observation of state anxiety can be useful in this study.
