Virtual Reality Hypnosis: The Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Combined with Hypnotic Suggestions, a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Listed in figshare and Loughborough Research Repository — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.6084/m9.figshare.33993710.v1
<p>Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly used to support physical and mental health interventions.
Description
Recently, VR combined with hypnotic suggestions, termed virtual reality hypnosis (VRH), has emerged as a promising approach across clinical and non-clinical settings. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the use and effectiveness of VRH.
Searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, and Embase following PRISMA guidelines. A total of 54 studies involving healthy and clinical populations were included. Meta-analytic results based on pre-post comparisons indicated a trend toward reduced anxiety following VRH (Hedges’ g = −1.39; 95% CI: −2.91 to 0.14).

However, no significant differences were found when VRH was compared with other interventions, and no significant effects emerged for pain outcomes. Overall, VRH appears to be a promising intervention integrating immersive virtual environments with hypnotic suggestion, although further high-quality research is needed.</p>
