Public speaking like Trump is not easy for many people, especially those with social phobias, which may have their lives. The world's hot virtual reality technology (VR) is expected to help these patients overcome their fears. Yesterday at the Second National Psychiatric Hospital Dean's Forum in Shanghai, Xu Yifeng, Dean of the Shanghai Mental Health Center, announced that the VR technology will be applied to the rehabilitation intervention of social phobia. This is the first time in China that VR technology has been introduced into the therapeutic field. 2016 is the first year of VR. After this entertaining industry, this cool technology has swept the whirlwind into the medical world. In April this year, British doctors conducted the world's first VR live tumor resection. Since then, in Shanghai, Ruijin Hospital, Zhongshan Hospital, Renji Hospital, etc. have carried out a number of VR surgery live broadcast. In theory, VR technology has brought large-scale medical teaching and doctor-patient exchanges to a new stage. However, it is a new topic to talk about using VR to treat diseases. "The application possibilities of VR technology in the field of psychiatric treatment are limitless, because the pathological thinking in the brains of many psychiatric patients is difficult to reproduce. VR is expected to solve this problem and train patients."
The new subject led by Dean Xu Yifeng is first locked in patients with social anxiety disorders who are not very small. Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, has a prevalence of about 8%. Such patients participate in normal social activities, such as rapid heartbeat, increased blood pressure, dizziness, stuttering, trembling, etc. The pain caused by social interaction makes many patients unable to study, work and live normally. In the past, the treatment of social anxiety disorder was mainly psychotherapy and medication. In terms of psychotherapy, typical behavioral treatments such as systemic desensitization therapy, also known as exposure therapy, are guided by professional physicians to allow patients to imagine a social scene and gradually overcome fear. At present, the Shanghai Mental Health Center has designed a social scenario in which some patient interventions have been completed. It is expected that the enrollment and observation of the subjects will be initiated in October. “With VR, we can create virtual social scenes where doctors can control, immersive, and patients can participate in interactions, giving patients an immersive social experience, thereby enhancing the depth and effectiveness of traditional exposure therapy interventions.†Shanghai Wing Multi-information Consulting Huang Yingfeng, general manager of the company, said. This research will be carried out jointly by Shanghai Mental Health Center and Wingduo Company. Globally, there are few multi-center, large-scale studies using VR for psychiatric treatment. The research pioneered by the Shanghai Mental Health Center is pioneering. In Xu Yifeng view, VR technology opens up a lot of room for imagination and the rehabilitation of social anxiety disorder, other mental, mental illness, psychiatric aspects in the field of mobile health care, family and medical rehabilitation are also promising.
