Abstract:
Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness primarily managed with medication. In recent years, with the rapid development of virtual reality (VR) technology, its application effect in mental illness has been widely concerned. This review aims to explore the application of VR technology in schizophrenia treatment and to provide references for clinical practice. By reviewing randomized controlled trials from both domestic and international sources, the therapeutic efficacy of VR technology in treating schizophrenia was evaluated. The findings consistently demonstrated that VR technology has a positive effect on hallucinations, cognitive function, stress management and emotional control, and social function recovery in schizophrenia.
