Exploring the relationship between cue-induced craving and withdrawal craving in MUD individuals based on a virtual-reality cue exposure paradigm
These findings suggest that the VR-based cue exposure paradigm can serve as an effective tool for assessing MA-related cue-induced craving. By identifying specific scenarios that elicit strong craving responses, this study provides a foundation for designing immersive VR therapies that can reduce craving and prevent relapse, potentially enhancing treatment outcomes for MUD. It contributes to a deeper understanding of the roles of withdrawal craving and cue-induced craving in the addiction process and their interrelationship.
