虚拟现实（VR）提示环境已经开发出来，并在尼古丁，可卡因和酒精滥用者中成功测试。本文的目标包括开发和测试一种新型VR大麻提示反应性评估系统。假设与VR中性环境相比，在具有大麻线索的VR环境优点中，对大麻线索的主观渴望水平和注意力会更高。20名非寻求治疗的大麻吸烟者参加了VR提示试验。在VR提示试验期间，参与者暴露在四个虚拟环境中，其中包含音频，视觉，嗅觉和振动触觉感官刺激。两个VR环境包含大麻线索，包括一个人们吸食大麻的聚会室和一个没有人的含有大麻用具的房间。两个没有大麻线索的VR中立房间由一个带有自然视频的数字艺术画廊组成。与VR中性环境相比，VR大麻环境中的主观渴望和对线索的注意力显着更高。这些发现表明，VR大麻线索反应可能提供一种新的基于技术的方法来推进成瘾研究和治疗。
Virtual reality (VR) cue environments have been developed and successfully tested in nicotine, cocaine, and alcohol abusers. Aims in the current article include the development and testing of a novel VR cannabis cue reactivity assessment system. It was hypothesized that subjective craving levels and attention to cannabis cues would be higher in VR environments merits with cannabis cues compared to VR neutral environments. Twenty nontreatment-seeking current cannabis smokers participated in the VR cue trial. During the VR cue trial, participants were exposed to four virtual environments that contained audio, visual, olfactory, and vibrotactile sensory stimuli. Two VR environments contained cannabis cues that consisted of a party room in which people were smoking cannabis and a room containing cannabis paraphernalia without people. Two VR neutral rooms without cannabis cues consisted of a digital art gallery with nature videos. Subjective craving and attention to cues were significantly higher in the VR cannabis environments compared to the VR neutral environments. These findings indicate that VR cannabis cue reactivity may offer a new technology-based method to advance addiction research and treatment.
