Impact of Virtual Reality–Based Biofeedback on Sleep Quality Among Individuals With Depressive Symptoms, Anxiety Symptoms, or Both: 4-Week Randomized Controlled Study
This study provides evidence that both VR-based BF and conventional BF with a therapist are efficacious psychological interventions for enhancing sleep quality in individuals with depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, or both, with no significant differences observed between these 2 approaches. Both interventions showed significant improvements compared to baseline measurements. These findings suggest potential applications of these interventions in clinical settings to improve sleep quality and mental well-being.
