Applications of Immersive Virtual Reality for Illicit Substance Use: A Systematic Review

CONCLUSIONS: There is evidence to support the use of immersive, HMD-delivered VR in the assessment and modification of clinically-relevant factors in methamphetamine use, as well as preliminary evidence to support its effectiveness for clinically-relevant factors in opioid use. Future research should further examine the effectiveness of HMD-delivered VR in modifying illicit substance use and triangulate biomarkers measured in individuals using illicit substances.PMID:38206672 | DOI:10.15288/jsad.23-00189
