| Sumario: | Objective: To investigate the neurobiological impact of virtual reality therapy in patients with anxiety disorders. Methodology: A systematic review of the scientific literature was conducted in the PubMed, Scopus, and PsycINFO databases, using keywords related to VR and anxiety disorders. Articles published between 2015 and 2023 in English and Spanish were analyzed, employing a grounded theory approach with open, axial, and selective coding. Results: The majority of the studies (67.9%) focused on the treatment of specific phobias using VR. Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) showed efficacy comparable to in vivo exposure, with a large effect size (g = 0.90) compared to the waitlist. The VR exposure therapy (VRET) showed a significantly lower dropout rate (3%) compared to in vivo exposure (27%), and patients reported high levels of satisfaction. Conclusion: VR emerges as a promising tool in the treatment of anxiety disorders, offering an effective and well-accepted alternative to traditional therapies. Its versatility and potential to improve treatment adherence suggest a promising future in mental health, although further research is needed to address technical, ethical, and implementation challenges. |
