Background: The data and information contained within electronic health records (EHR) provide a rich, diverse, longitudinal view of real-world patient histories, offering valuable opportunities to study antecedent risk factors for cognitive decline. However, the extent to which such records' data have been utilized to elucidate the risk factors of cognitive decline remains unclear.
Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA guideline, examining articles published between January 2010 and April 2023, from PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL.
Objectives: Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) is a promising treatment for patients with fear of driving. The present pilot study is the first one focusing on behavioral effects of VRET on patients with fear of driving as measured by a post-treatment driving test in real traffic.
Methods: The therapy followed a standardized manual including psychotherapeutic and medical examination, two preparative psychotherapy sessions, five virtual reality exposure sessions, a final behavioral avoidance test (BAT) in real traffic, a closing session, and two follow-up phone assessments after six and twelve weeks.
