Objective: Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR) is effective in treating major depressive disorder (MDD) with childhood trauma, and virtual reality (VR) can further extend its application form. However, the utilization of VR-EMDR in treating MDD with childhood trauma is still in its infancy, and whether it can improve depressive symptoms and traumatic experience remains unknown.
Method: Seventy-two MDD patients were randomly allocated to the intervention group and the wait-list control group on a 1:1 basis.
Article Synopsis
- Cognitive impairment often occurs in adolescents with depression, but few targeted interventions exist for this age group.
- A study tested a virtual reality cognitive training system (VRCT) on adolescents with mild to moderate depression, comparing those who received VR training to a waitlist control group.
- Results showed that the VR training improved cognitive functions and reduced depressive symptoms, indicating the potential effectiveness of VRCT for treating cognitive issues related to depression in adolescents, with a call for more extensive research to confirm long-term effects.
