Abstract

Acrophobia, a common specific phobia, significantly affects patients' daily lives and mental health. Traditional treatments such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and medication have certain limitations in practical application. Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET), as an innovative treatment approach, has shown unique advantages. This paper reviews the effectiveness of VRET in the treatment of acrophobia, explores the effects of integrating physiological signals into the VRET system, and based on the analysis results, proposes suggestions for system design and scenario optimization aimed at enhancing treatment outcomes and patient experience.
