虚拟现实（VR）疗法已经被探索为用于许多健康应用的新型治疗方法，其中三维虚拟环境可以在真实的时间中被探索。研究发现，使用VR治疗焦虑症、成瘾、恐惧症、创伤后应激障碍、饮食失调、中风康复和疼痛管理等临床疾病的患者会获得积极的结果。这项工作旨在突出VR技术临床研究实施中的关键问题。一份讨论文件是根据对该领域最近临床研究的叙述性评论以及研究人员自己在慢性疼痛患者中进行VR临床研究的经验编写的。实施临床VR研究的一些关键问题包括理论不成熟，缺乏技术标准，分离媒体与媒体的影响，实际的体内问题和成本问题。在过去的十年中，VR的使用取得了一些重大的成功。然而，在实验室之外实施临床VR研究提出了重大的临床挑战。有人认为，需要在研究设计和试点研究中仔细注意解决这些问题，以使临床VR研究更加严格，提高研究结果的临床意义。
Virtual reality (VR) therapy has been explored as a novel therapeutic approach for numerous health applications, in which three-dimensional virtual environments can be explored in real time. Studies have found positive outcomes for patients using VR for clinical conditions such as anxiety disorders, addictions, phobias, posttraumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, stroke rehabilitation, and for pain management. This work aims to highlight key issues in the implementation of clinical research for VR technologies. A discussion paper was developed from a narrative review of recent clinical research in the field, and the researchers’ own experiences in conducting VR clinical research with chronic pain patients. Some of the key issues in implementing clinical VR research include theoretical immaturity, a lack of technical standards, the problems of separating effects of media versus medium, practical in vivo issues, and costs. Over the last decade, some significant successes have been claimed for the use of VR. Nevertheless, the implementation of clinical VR research outside of the laboratory presents substantial clinical challenges. It is argued that careful attention to addressing these issues in research design and pilot studies are needed in order to make clinical VR research more rigorous and improve the clinical significance of findings.
