Treatment of cognitive deficits in schizophrenia using a new technique of Cognitive Training in Virtual Reality: a pilot study
VR cognitive training shows potential as an innovative tool for enhancing executive functioning in schizophrenia patients. While immediate task performance improved, broader cognitive impacts and psychiatric symptom reductions were minimal. Future research should focus on long-term efficacy, functional outcomes, and scalability of VR interventions.
