Resumo

A Terapia de Exposição à Realidade Virtual (VRET) surgiu como uma ferramenta inovadora no tratamento do Transtorno de Estresse Pós-Traumático (TEPT) e transtornos de ansiedade, oferecendo um ambiente controlado e imersivo que facilita a dessensibilização e a extinção do medo. O processo de revisão seguiu rigorosamente as diretrizes PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). Esta revisão da literatura explora os mecanismos pelos quais o VRET melhora os resultados terapêuticos, comparando a sua eficácia com as terapias de exposição tradicionais. Através de uma análise das aplicações clínicas, particularmente no TEPT e em vários transtornos de ansiedade, a revisão destaca tanto as vantagens do VRET – como o maior envolvimento do paciente e a personalização do tratamento – como os seus desafios, incluindo limitações tecnológicas e considerações éticas. Também são discutidas as direções futuras para VRET, enfatizando seu potencial para revolucionar os cuidados de saúde mental, integrando avanços em tecnologia e abordagens de tratamento personalizadas.
