通过体内暴露治疗恐惧症的成功率很高。不幸的是，很少有恐惧症患者（不到15-20%）寻求治疗。虚拟现实（VR）暴露疗法也被证明是非常有效的。目前的调查评估了162名学生对蜘蛛的恐惧。在研究1中，当被要求在多阶段体内暴露与多阶段VR暴露治疗之间进行选择时，81%的人选择了VR。在研究2中，比较了一次体内治疗与多次VR暴露治疗，89%的人选择了VR。结果表明，VR暴露疗法可能被证明对增加寻求治疗的恐惧症患者的数量有价值。
The success rate for treating phobias with in vivo exposure is high. Unfortunately few phobics (less than 15-20%) ever seek treatment. Virtual reality (VR) exposure therapy is also proving to be highly effective. The present surveys assessed 162 students high in fear of spiders. In Study 1, when asked to choose between multisession in vivo exposure vs. multisession VR exposure therapy, 81% chose VR. In Study 2, comparing one-session in vivo versus multisession VR exposure therapy, 89% chose VR. Results suggest that VR exposure therapy may prove valuable for increasing the number of phobics who seek treatment.
