Are there any studies or researches proving the efficacy of the use of virtual reality for rehabilitation?

Hello CryptoTonyBTC,

Thank you for the question.

Please find below some of the researches which have been conducted which prove the efficacy of the virtual reality solution. There are way more than these and kindly refer to our white paper for an extensive list in the references section.

- Among 244 children (216 yrs. old) receiving vaccination, using VR resulted in 45% to 74% decrease in pain
- Burn patients reported a 35% to 50% decrease in perceived pain when using VR with standard pharmacologic treatment
- Researchers at Duke University are showing that when recovering people develop strategies to avoid relapse in a virtual world, they are able to take those strategies and use them in real-world situations
- VR significantly reduced the amount of opioid medication administered during painful wound care procedures
- VR can be used as a treatment tool for enhancing behavior modification goals to support healthy eating habits by reinforcing these goals in lifelike situations

In fact, what people tend to forget is that virtual reality was first used back in 1994 by Kaiser Permanente to treat acrophobics (people who are afraid of heights) and the results were over 90% successful. Moreover, it was also used to treat returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms, and that was also over 75% successful. We are also seeing implementations for autism, lazy eye treatment, phobias, anxiety disorders, and other specialties as well.

Moreover, our results showed that 87% of participating patients have shown an overall improvement across 62 different metrics within the following categories:

1- Problem Recognition & Acceptance
2- Openness to Change
3- Locus of Control
4- Decision-Making Influences
5- Emotional Intelligence & Regulation
6- Motivation & Resilience

Hope this clarifies.

Looks quite promising indeed. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks BigSharky. Appreciate the feedback.
