Connection to Virtual Reality¶

Research on needle phobia has shown that VR can easily bring about the arousal necessary for treatment to occur, but no study was found that had the objective of treating needle phobia. VR is still regularly used to assist people with needle or dental phobia, but as a diversion tactic rather than a method of treatment.
