Augmenting self-guided virtual-reality exposure therapy for social anxiety with biofeedback: a randomised controlled trial

P. Premkumar, N. Heym, et al.

Self-guided virtual reality exposure therapy reduced public speaking anxiety and heart rate, and adding continuous biofeedback on heart rate and frontal alpha asymmetry helped steady physiological arousal and lower perceived arousal across sessions. In a randomized trial with 72 high-social-anxiety participants, VRET-plus-biofeedback produced steadier FAA reductions in the first session and greater drops in self-reported arousal, with social anxiety improvements sustained at one-month follow-up.
